A freehand drawing is drawn without using instruments such as a ruler or a pair of compasses. The artist has the picture already formed in the mind. Visually the idea is represented on a 2-dimensional paper or a surface. A freehand drawing means what the artist sees that idea is conveyed without any words but in the form of pictures.

The first example of freehand drawing is seen in cave paintings many many centuries back. The artistic caveman or cave women drew their daily life activity done inside the cave. The scenes depicted were hunting, food gathering etc. Basic shapes and lines were used.

An artist develops their own style of conveying an idea to the people. It could be in the form of paintings and sketches.
