To efficiently utilize a CPU and a hardware accelerator (HA) in drawing processing.

An image formation apparatus is provided with: an analysis unit for analyzing printing data; a plurality of drawing processing units for drawing processing of analyzed printing data; a band memory drawn into from each drawing processing unit; a drawing control unit which controls a predetermined drawing control unit to generate intermediate data or to draw into the band memory, on the basis of analysis result obtained by the analysis unit; and data memory for storing the intermediate data generated by the predetermined drawing control unit. The drawing control units other than the predetermined drawing control unit draw into the band memory using the intermediate data stored in the data memory.
