OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A drawing system configured to perform drawing on a heat-sensitive recording medium, the drawing system comprising:
a light source section configured to generate a plurality of laser light beams having wavelengths that are different from each other and correspond to absorption wavelengths of photothermal conversion agents; and
a scanning section configured to irradiate a surface of the recording medium with the plurality of laser light beams generated by the light source section at predetermined intervals, and configured to scan the surface of the recording medium with the plurality of laser light beams in synchronization in a same direction, wherein
the scanning section is configured to scan the surface of the recording medium with the plurality of laser light beams in a state in which irradiation spots of the plurality of laser light beams are arranged side by side at the predetermined intervals in a linear direction orthogonal to or obliquely intersecting with a scanning direction of the plurality of laser light beams.
