Revenue is an Owners Equity account therefore has a Credit Balance:
Credit because it is an equity account
Remember the basic accounting equations Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity (Stockholders Equity) Assets increase with a debit Liabilities as well as Equity increase with a credit Liabilities have a credit balance (meaning you must credit the account to "increase" it and debit the account to "decrease" it) this makes liabilities a credit.
Capital is a Credit Balance account. To increase capital and therefore increase OE, you will Credit the account. Not DEBIT. You Debit Cash, Credit Capital.
Credit side of balance sheet.....Revenue is an Owners Equity account therefore has a Credit Balance.

Yes owners drawing account is contra account to owners equity and closed to owners equity account at the end of fiscal year.

There are two main differences that stand out between a Debit Account and a Credit Account, those are;A Debit Account always maintains a Debit Balance, meaning the account increases with a Debit to that account and decreases with a Credit to that account. These are generally Asset Accounts.A Credit Account is just the opposite, A Credit Account maintains a Credit Balance, meaning that the account increases with a Credit and decreases with a Debit, these accounts are usually used for Liabilities and Owners Equity (Stockholders Equity).
