Drawing is a technique that is quickly dying out, however it is the greatest skill an artist can have. Getting ideas down on paper, scenes they have seen means that ideas are not lost, and can constantly be revistited at any time of life. It engages a physical connection between the three most important tools any person can have, the hand and the brain and the eye.
There is no limitation on what can be used within a drawing, or indeed what can be used. The obvious would be pen and pencil and a drawing of what the eye see's, however this takes minimal imagination and exploration into the wide varieties that can be experimented with. Text, photographs, paints, chalks, food, almost anything can class as a drawing.
Often there are feelings of limits, due to critisising of the brain, analysing the work in which it thinks wouldn't work or wouldn't look right. But there is no right or wrong when it is our own creation. Drawings, good or bad, masterpieces or a rough two second sketch, explain themselves, yet don't need an explanation, don't need a reason or a meaning.

Anyone can draw, create something that noone else has seen, put down their ideas and imaginations, dreams and thoughts. Not neccessarily creating art, but instead creating idea's that could spure on a new generation of style, instead of nesting away in the head, and not taking to life.
"A drawing is simply a line going for a walk."
Paul Klee
