The development of abstract drawings can mainly be attributed to the introduction of the camera. By introducing the camera around the beginning of the nineteenth century, artists were able to flawlessly replicate the pictures of daily life, consequently shifting realism to a traditional form of art. Artists had become more interested in replicating the world via paints, pencils, pastels, and other traditional mediums. Although artists' works from that period are figurative, they include aspects of abstraction in which their drawings replace realistic with expressive. This traditional practice continues even today, as artists endure to discover new ways of presenting non-figurative pictures via drawing.
