sketch: Information from Answers.com (442 words) |
 | 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 are inexpensive and allow the artist to try out different ideas before committing to an expensive and time consuming painting or fresco. |
| 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. |
