How do you know if a drawings are debited or credited?

In accounting, drawings are recorded as debits to the owner's capital account. This is because drawings reduce the overall equity of the owner in the business. When a drawing is made, it is debited to the drawings account, which is a contra equity account, and credited to the cash or asset account from which the drawing is taken. Therefore, if you see a debit entry in the drawings account, it indicates that funds have been withdrawn from the business.
