A sketch is a rapidly executed freehand drawing that is not intended as a finished work, often consisting of a multitude of overlapping lines. Sketches usually serve quickly to record ideas for later use. Sketches are inexpensive and allow the artist to try out different ideas before committing to an expensive and time consuming painting or fresco. Sketching sharpens an artist's ability to focus and has often been a prescribed part of artistic development for student and professional alike.

Dry media such as pencil or pastel are often preferred due to time constraints, but a quickly done watercolor study or even quickly modeled clay or soft wax can also be considered a 'sketch' in the broader sense of the term. Graphite pencils being a relatively new invention, the artists of the Renaissance made sketches using a silver stylus on specially prepared paper (known as silverpoint), with results similar to a modern pencil sketch, or used charcoal, chalk, or pen-and-ink. Silverpoint predates the use of graphite as a drawing medium and was used by Leonardo da Vinci in his notebooks. ...
Contrary to popular belief, artists often use erasers when drawing; the eraser may be used to remove rough construction lines, or to soften lines for visual effect. The most commonly used eraser for pencil drawing is the kneadable eraser, which has a soft, sticky surface that enables the artist to lift the graphite or charcoal from the drawing surface without smudging. White plastic erasers are also used for erasing linework, but tend to smudge heavy shading.
