I think 绘画 can also be used as a noun. These two are both rather formal words. In casual conversations you usually just say 那张画是我画的。"绘画" when used as a verb has the implication that the person is rather skilled, so you don't really use it to describe yourself. Some example sentences: 印度绘画非常有名。他在绘画时非常认真。小朋友喜欢看图画书。墙上有许多图画。

<p>The dictionary defines both 图画 and 绘画 as drawing &amp; painting. Can both words be used interchangeably? Is there any difference in the words in terms of usage? </p>

[绘画](http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/dictionary/words/14648/): /hui4 hua4/ is a verb for 'to draw', 'to paint' or 'to illustrate'

"图画" = [图 (picture) + 画 (drawing)]. It is a compound word **noun**
