Understanding this quote
The quote means that drawing can communicate ideas across language barriers. A picture may be understood even when people do not share the same spoken language, because lines and images can express objects, actions, or feelings directly. Calling drawing a “universal language” emphasizes its broad accessibility, not that every drawing will mean exactly the same thing to everyone.
