Methodological issues, such as the lack of consensus in defining ‘drawing,’ have become more complex in contemporary times; a context characterized by the dissolution of categories, artistic expansion, and perpetual technological evolution. The objective of this article is to propose an alternative perspective for investigating this augmented and emerging notion of drawing, employing an analytical-comparative methodology with a distinctly interdisciplinary approach in order to generate new lines of research for addressing an ever-evolving artistic field. The research advocates for a broad understanding of graphic art through case studies from the 20th and 21st centuries. It is ultimately suggested that drawing should be apprehended as part of a creative, transformative, interdisciplinary transmedia dynamic rather than in any specific material characteristic.
