Good is an adjective, so it always modifies a noun.
She makes good (adjective) drawings (noun).
Well is an adverb, so it modifies a verb.
She can draw (verb) well (adverb).
Well also refers to health, and "good" refers to behavior.
She is well = She is healthy.
The child is good. = The child does not misbehave.
The proper answer to "How are you?" is "I'm doing well," but people often reply with "I'm good." This is wrong since that means they are saying "I'm behaving properly", but most native English speakers use it anyway!
