"I draw."

Translation: えをかきます。

[sora_Japan]

わたしは、絵（え）を　描（か）きます。

[animatrix1490]

What is the difference between 絵 and 画？

[sora_Japan]

It is hard question for me. sorry.

[Strapping]

How come えをかきます is also correct? Because 絵=え? It's sometimes hard to know when it's not in kanji

[henry651231]

They should show kanji at the same time.

[charpotes]

why do you use を here and は in other sentences with this verb?

[deactivated user]

the drawing (え、絵）is the object where drawing is directly being acted upon

[ranggawiratno]

Why isn't 書き correct while かき is, don't they sound the same?

[sora_Japan]

'描（か）く' or other pronunciation '描（えが）く'.
be used when drawing etc.

'書（か）く'
be used when letters, sentences etc.

If you worry about it, please search '絵を描く' and '字を書く'.
I think you will find the sentences '絵を together 描く' and '字を together 書く'.

[JohnPMChappell]

描きます。

[Razukin]

Why suddenly hiragana?

[Flying_Frenchman]

Duolingo hasn't taught kanji for any of the words in this sentence, which is proabably why it's all in hiragana. If you're referring to why you cant use "to write" 書き to replace かき here, it's becuase another verb is being used that has the same exact sound but means "to draw" (描き). In a language with a limited range of sounds, it's common to have a lot of homophones.

[sora_Japan]

Japanese children study ’hiragana' at first.

If you know correct spell of hiragana, you can search kanji from dictionary by using the spell.

[absmnt]

Did I separate them right?

E wo kakimasu

If so, what's "e"?

[JohnPMChappell]

え を かきます / え を えがきます
E o(wo) kakimasu / e o(wo) egakimasu

Picture [object] draw [polite]

絵 (え) is a picture, and を is pronounced as お when it is the object marker particle, just like は is わ and へ is え.

[Luanrr21]

When it means to draw I hier it saing gaekimasu or kaekimasu not sure now, and not kakimasu

So what is the right pronunciation of the verb to draw

[NickelCobalt]

描き pronounced by itself is かき(kaki) but in this sentence, 描きます is pronounced えがき(egaki). Duolingo doesn’t do a good job at explaining that, but just know 描 has these two kunyomi readings.
