Sentence: 這個王子不但畫畫畫得很好，他還是一個很有名的歌王呢！

First Attempt: This prince not only knows how to paint well, but he is also a king of song!

Question One (1/2): Alright! Is it a prince in the sense of a member of a royal lineage? Or, is something else meant?

Question Two (2/2): The expression 畫畫畫 is very amusing! Does one 畫 a 畫畫 or does one 畫畫 a 畫? Although I am easily able to find the character 畫, finding the character combination 畫畫 in an official reference is more difficult.

What is meant by the terms 畫 and 畫畫 when used together? Do they include only things made with a brush? Or, can one use a pencil, a pen, an aerosol can, or Adobe Illustrator, for example? Must it be done on paper or can I use a canvas? What about a computer monitor or the side of a building? Is it image specific? Does it make a difference whether I am producing an image of Wen Jiabao or George Bush, Ma On Shan or Mount Fuji, for example? Must the image even include water and a mountain?

In brief, just exactly, how general or specific are these terms. Please feel free to provide examples with your explanation.
