I propose the conception of a new word. Drawing inspiration from my native language Danish, we have the word 'tegner', having the sole meaning of "one who draws". The word is created from the noun 'tegn', which means 'sign'. Too "at tegne" is a verb and means "To draw". So what my immediate proposal would thus be: 'Signager'. But not really. Contemplating ...

I think the second would be understood to the reader as the "true" is implied but I think that the first is more correct. Given the level of paper you'd likely be writing this phrase in I would use the first, longer version.

Something that will eventually cease to exist (whether it is organic and dies or inorganic and otherwise disappears) is finite:

I believe, the only generic apt term would be drawing artist which isn't a single word. (You can hyphenate as drawing-artist if you really want to use a single word). Many drawing art and job websites use this term. There are more specific terms like pencil artist, portrait drawing artist etc. also.
As already mentioned, the only generic single word is ...

Although many dictionaries define 'drawer' as 'someone who draws pictures', I understand the OP's frustration when trying to use it as in her introduction. The culprit that makes it sound unnatural is in part the fact that such usage is not very idiomatic, and in part the fact that the meaning of 'drawer' is not specific enough to convey the exact meaning ...

I'm a prof at a US university. We (I and people I hear from on this topic) call these classifications (freshman, etc.) "rank."
We don't use "cohort," because that denotes a group that takes limited-availability classes together.

Well I am no expert and late to this question - so if it has been offered and I missed it sorry - but I call one who draws a sketch artists or a sketcher.

Why among all these answers has screengrab not yet been suggested?

The word you are looking for is "Screenshoot". Shot gives the sense of having already occurred in a single instant, fitting well with the action of taking a single picture. Shoot gives the sense of occurring currently in continuum, fitting well with the action of taking a video.
