Anthropology in the twenty-first century has been marked by a renewed interest in drawing as a way of describing and presenting knowledge. Among the variety of anthropologists writing in theoretical terms about the subject, Tim Ingold stands out with his proposal of a graphic anthropology, alongside Michael Taussig, with his discussion about drawing in fieldwork notebooks. However, insufficient knowledge about this practice, which is more common in the history of anthropology than might be supposed, obscures the long-standing presence of drawing in field records. Thus, in addition to indicating the main research on the subject, this entry seeks to tell another history of anthropological research methods and techniques: it considers the historical presence of drawings in fieldwork notebooks and also points out the importance of the practical development of anthropologists' skills.
