When we are talking about art, a sketch usually refers to a quick, informal drawing, usually done from life. A sketch captures the essentials of the subject - the overall form and perspective, a sense of volume, movement and feeling; sometimes a suggestion of light and shade. A sketch should not be labored or overworked.
A sketch may be created in any medium, though pencil is the most common.
Sketches are often done in ink or charcoal too.
Sketches are often part of the preparation for a more developed drawing or painting, llowing he artist to rough out their ideas and plan the finished piece before embarking on a more precise work, sometimes with several small thumbnail sketches on a single page being used to explore composition. It may be this practice that has led to 'Sketches' becoming the name for the layouts used for album pages in the popular hobby of photo scrapbooking.
