A sketch is a quick, basic drawing that represents the main features or elements of an object or scene. It is a preliminary or rough drawing that serves as a guide for more detailed and finished artwork or design. Sketches are often made with minimal detail and may be done with pencils, pens, or other simple drawing tools. They are used for brainstorming, planning, and exploring ideas or concepts before committing to a final piece. Sketches can also be used as a form of observational drawing, where an artist captures the essence of a subject or scene through loose, gestural lines.
