Drawing apparatus and method of forming drawn object

A method of forming a drawn object by performing drawing on a recording medium in which a plurality of coloring layers is stacked via an intermediate layer, the plurality of coloring layers each including a coloring compound different from each other and a photothermal conversion agent different from each other, the method comprising:

• generating a plurality of laser beams each having a wavelength different from each other, the wavelength corresponding to an absorption wavelength of the photothermal conversion agent;
• and
• performing drawing on the recording medium by irradiating a surface of the recording medium with the plurality of laser beams generated by the light source section and also by scanning the plurality of laser beams over the surface of the recording medium;
• wherein
• the generating the plurality of laser beams comprising generating at least one laser beam among the plurality of laser beams to cause a beam shape of the at least one laser beam at a position of the recording medium to satisfy a relational expression below, and to cause a length of the beam shape in a direction parallel to a scanning direction of the laser beams to be 0 degrees or more and 20 degrees or less with respect to the scanning direction of the laser beams:
