Drawings could be of any form. There are drawings composed
of cash amounts taken away from a business by the
proprietor for personal use; there are drawings that could
be composed of goods(amounts of inventory) that was
initially bought in (purchased) for resale - referred to as
purchases. Drawings could also taken a form of a non-
current asset taken from a business for personal use. A
business owner can take these drawings in form of things
like a computer, a chair or even a car and transform its
initial use (in the business) into a new personal use.
