在控制台应用程序下找不到 System.drawing 命名空间

Question

I selected console application as my C# project. But the imports that seemed to work under Windows Form project don't seem to work here. It says that the drawing namespace does not exist.

using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;

My problem is that I need to have the bitmap class. I am trying to make a command line app that does bitmap manipulations to a image. That's why I didn't choose my project to be a Windows Form one.
