This paper will address the topic of drawing as an artistic technique in children's visual expression. The paper contains data collected by reviewing and researching texts on the subject of drawing and artistic techniques in books, scientific and professional articles, and on the internet. Drawing is the basic form of visual art, using lines, and it is through drawing that children begin their artistic expression. From a very early age, even before they start walking and talking, children begin to draw, thus enjoying artistic activities from their earliest days. Drawing impacts the overall development of children. Various drawing techniques are used, among which the most common are pencil, charcoal, markers and colored chalk, ink and stick, or pen. Each of these drawing techniques is specific and has certain characteristics. Children's artistic expression goes through several stages, which will be explained in more detail in the following text. Given that the role of adults in a child's environment is indispensable in their development and upbringing, the influence of parents, as well as the influence of educators in kindergartens, is extremely important when it comes to artistic development and expression. Children need to be supported in developing creativity and artistic skills. For children to freely explore and express themselves through art, it is important to create an encouraging environment, fostering their self-confidence and sense of achievement.
