  • Many well-known general search engines have an 'Images' or 'Pictures' link above or next to the main search box, enabling you to search for images
  • For example, at All the web click 'Pictures' or at Google or at Yahoo click 'Images'. You will then see a screen with an images search box
  • To search images on Google, you also have the option of going straight to Google image search
  • You can find more search engines at Gateway > Search engines
  • When you have an images search box on your screen, you could try entering simply 'drawing' or 'sketch'
  • You could add the name of an artist well-known for drawings, for example 'michelangelo drawing', 'leonardo da vinci drawing', 'raphael drawing', 'escher drawing' or 'dürer drawing'
  • You could search for a particular type of drawing such as 'manga' or 'line drawings' or 'cartoons' or 'silhouette drawings'
  • Click any resulting small image to see it enlarged and then check whether you can click it again to enlarge it further
