Van Gogh is most known for his painting, but he also created drawings. For example, he drew a pen and ink version of Starry Night [1]. I particularly like Windmills at Montmartre [2]. I think it'd be easy to argue his talent and skill carry over into his drawing.

I say all this to quote him writing to his brother: "I cannot tell you how happy I am that I have taken up drawing again. I had been thinking about it for a long time, but always considered it impossible and beyond my abilities." [3]
