Drawing is the word that is commonly used to refer to the practice of making marks upon a surface. Usually these marks let the surface show through. For example, we see the paper through the pencil lines of a sketch. We see the walls between the charcoal marks that represent buffalo. Drawing is usually done with a dry medium, like pencils and charcoal, although ink is also a drawing medium.

Illustration is an application of a techinque. A drawing of a horse is not an illustration unless it accompanies and supports a text (say, a magazine article about horses, or a book for which the drawing serves as its cover). A photo can be an illustration.
