How paintings and drawings differ Drawings are made of objects that can be
selected, moved, or changed while retaining their individual identity. For
example, when one object in a drawing overlaps another, the back object
remains intact. Paintings are made of many separate pixels. Shapes drawn in
a painting lose their individual identity and become part of the collection of
pixels. For example, when one image in a painting overlaps another, the back
image is permanently replaced with the front image.
