Does 'artists' mean 'painters' or 'drawers'? Can musicians such as guitarists or pianists be artists?

When dealing with colors, "artists" means "painters."

The word "drawer" (one who draws) is not used. We'd write, "He's very good at drawing and painting." Or maybe, "His pencil drawings are really good."

The word "drawers" refers to the storage compartments that slide -- in kitchens and in pieces of furniture:

Writeacher is correct. Someone who draws, as in pen and ink, pencil, charcoal, or other media is considered an artist, but the word "drawer" would not be used.

In this context, the term "artists" can be understood to encompass both painters and drawers. Artists generally refer to individuals who are involved in creating visual art, which can include painting, drawing, sculpting, and other forms of visual expression. So, both painters and drawers can be considered artists.

Additionally, the term "artists" is not limited to visual art alone. Musicians, such as guitarists or pianists, can also be considered artists. They express their feelings and ideas through the medium of music, using melodies, harmonies, and rhythms to convey emotions and tell stories. Just like painters and drawers, musicians use their chosen medium to communicate their creativity, emotions, and ideas to their audience.
