He sketches. He draws.
He sketches a page a night. He draws cartoony pictures.
Intransitive verbs. Transitive verbs. Is there such thing as transitive art? Intransitive art? Does the artwork transfer action to someone of something? Does artwork use a direct object? Is the artwork a direct object and the action the artist?
He drew. Last night, he drew.
Last night, he drew a cartoon picture. Last night, he drew a cartoon picture for a story he wrote, but did not finish.
This is confusing. English grammar. Transitive verbs. Intransitive verbs.
Tonight, he changed.
Tonight, he changed creative direction. Tonight, he drew a representational picture for a story he wrote .
