What is good drawing ? Looking into a knothole

ink

What is good drawing? This question comes up quite naturally when a couple of artists or art lovers meet and start to discuss their subject of interest. Defining good drawing seems to be as difficult as defining good painting as soon as the question of accurate or academic representation is left behind. But even getting over this cliff with a convincing argument seems to be difficult. None of the words we might find to argue for the one or other drawing seems to be precise and strong enough. What is a vivid or confident line and whatelse we might say about the quality of a drawing?

Time makes the difference. The time we spend looking at a drawing is an indicator for the quality. The more time we spend with a drawing the better it is I think. The best drawings never wear off, the cheap ones are done away with the blink of the eye.(what is good drawing)
