This journal issue proposes a reflection on drawing as expression, language, and a critical device for constructing meaning. Each line, mark, or graphic variation is understood not as a neutral trace, but as the result of a tension between intention, gesture, and significance. From this perspective, the sign transcends its material condition to become a semantic element, capable of activating imagination, organising thought, and generating new readings of represented reality. In an age dominated by digital drawing, where software produces perfect, repeatable, and modifiable signs, the volume questions the value of intentionality and the interpretative capacity of drawing. What emerges is a conception of drawing as a critical space of design: a place of synthesis, doubt, and resistance to simplification, where the pursuit of clarity coexists with the complexity of meaning.
