Drawing-draw

Hello,

I always have troubles using the words "draw" and "drawing". Because in my opinion, there's a big difference between drawing a straight line, and doing drawings like a drawing of a character, nature, etc!
My question is about the using of the words "drawing" and "draw". I also want to fix the sentences below. Please edit them to natural sentences.

Can you draw a picture of her?
Can you draw a drawing of her?
I can't draw anything at all.
Please do more drawings of her.

Thanks.

All four sentences are grammatical, but the second one is a little awkward-sounding with two "draw's" so close together. It would be better, for example, as one of the following: Can you make a drawing of her? Can you do a drawing of her?
