Explanation
Drawings account is a personal account because it represents the proprietor (a person) and records all withdrawals made by the owner from the business for personal use. It follows the rule for personal accounts: debit the receiver, credit the giver. It is neither a real account (which tracks assets) nor a nominal account (which tracks incomes and expenses).
