書く（かく）doesn't really mean draw or paint..Really the only meaning you can associate it with is "to write". 描く（えがく）is better when you want to say "to paint", "to draw", or "to sketch".

We say: 絵を描く and it's read in two ways, えをかく and えをえがく but I would use the first one with 絵を. 描く is more used in the sentence like この絵は (someone)によってえがかれたももです (= This picture is drawn by (someone).) I think in Japanese, we don't distinguish "to draw" and "to paint" very much though I'm not very sure. I hope this was helpful.

It's 書く　「かく」
