Answer 1

Dibujar significa hacer un dibujo y sacar por otro lado principalmente significa "to take out"

Dibujar means to draw and sacar on the other hand mainly means "to take (something) out..

por ejemplo ... saco a mi perro a pasear a las tres cada dia ... I take my dog out for a walk at three every day..

tenemos que sacar la basura dos veces al dia... we have to take out (dispose of) the garbage twice a day..

Dibujar on the other hand means to "draw" or "sketch" for example :

El artista dibujó la silueta de la mujer detrás de la cortina.The artist drew the silhouette of the woman behind the curtain.

El testigo dibujó un retrato del ladrón para que la policía pudiera identificarlo.The witness sketched a portrait of the robber so that police could identify him.

now .... sacar .. can also be used figuratively to mean .. " to come out as " .. so we can use both sacar and dibujar in one sentence as follows ... terminé dibujar el retrato de leo ayer y ha sacado muy bien .. I completed the portrait of leo yesterday and it has come out quite well ..

@ J T L , I am trying to be conciliatory here mate but you have me sizzling . - ray76, Dec 28, 2014

Your comments are extremely offensive Ray ,,, I have no need of being heard or seen, I was just trying to help ,,, I really don't understand what got you so sizzling ???????? - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 28, 2014

Please think before you right such comments (need of being herd or seen,,) what nonsense is this .. - Joydeep_Singh, Dec 28, 2014

Jimmy we are vall here because we have a need to be seen and heard , that is how we are learning from each other , none of us are" shrinking violets" - ray76, Dec 29, 2014

No need to fight. I find Ray's post helpful and polite actually. I don't think he did it for attention if that's what you are implying. - madelyn123843, Nov 30, 2015
