Why draw, and why by hand, is no longer a self-evident question in an age of constant images and visual distraction. In view of digital tools that enable efficiency, rapid variation, and an almost unlimited field of experimentation, drawing as a simple sensory activity seems almost anachronistic. And yet drawing remains a fundamental form of thinking, perceiving, and understanding.

People of all ages draw with passion, and some even place drawing at the center of their professional lives. The gesture materialized by the hand has a special quality because it directly connects thinking, seeing, and the body. Drawing creates closeness, concentration, and a deeper understanding of the world. Why draw? is a book for reading, looking, and reflecting through drawing.
