Created a picture or design by making marks on paper or a surface, or pulled something toward you.
From Old English 'dragan' meaning to pull or drag. The artistic sense developed because you pull a pencil or brush across a surface to make marks.
In medieval times, 'draw' meant to pull a sword from its sheath—so when you 'draw' a picture, you're using the same word because you're 'pulling' the image out of your mind onto paper.
