a still life (a painting or drawing of inanimate objects, such as fruit, flowers, etc.)

The pen, pencil, or brush can be a tool in an application (i.e., Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, Brushes, etc.) on your computer or PDA.

What the group doesn't include are three dimensional works, images created with a camera, or images made using a photograph or picture in a book as the subject (If you use photographs as models for your drawing/painting content consider Drawing from photographs).
