A drawing apparatus including a drawing head on which at least one drawing tool is mounted, the drawing tool applying a drawing on a drawing subject; an imaging unit which acquires a subject image by imaging the drawing subject; and an illumination device comprising at least one light source configured to radiate light on an area of the drawing subject where the drawing is applied.The drawing tool includes a first drawing tool that applies the drawing by using a first type ink which is a colorless ink or a specific color ink which has substantially the same color as the drawing subject, and a second drawing tool that applies the drawing by using a second type ink different from the first type ink.In a case where the drawing on a first drawn area of the drawing subject is applied by the first drawing tool, the imaging unit acquires the subject image by imaging the first drawn area where the light radiated from the light source is specularly reflected.
