The present invention provides a drawing apparatus for performing drawing on a substrate with a plurality of charged particle beams, comprising a blanker array including first and second groups, each of which includes at least one blanker, a deflector configured to deflect the plurality of charged particle beams to scan the plurality of charged particle beams on the substrate, and a controller configured to respectively supply first and second control signals to the first and second groups at first and second timings, wherein the first and second groups are respectively arranged at such relative positions that a positional difference between respective drawing regions thereof, due to a difference between the first and second timings, in a scanning direction of the deflector is compensated for.
