Spider man pencil drawing. What Is Sketching? Definition and Characteristics
Sketching traditionally refers to a preliminary rough type of drawing that an artist might make in preparation for either a painting or a more formal drawing (like a study). A sketch is less detailed than a study - a study may be a highly detailed rendition of something to be used in a large composition. Of course sketching is also a form of doodling that a person may do to pass time with no end goal in mind. Formally however it is a useful way for an artist to capture a fleeting impression of a scene or person before it changes. For this purpose, it is typically executed rapidly and with little concern for accuracy. Not unlike caricature art, sketching is often about capturing a mood or key feature of the subject.

Sketching is perhaps when an artist is most free because you can’t make a 'mistake'. It is not about drawing an accurate likeness, but rather about capturing the essence of a person or object. To do this, you need to be loose, bold and not afraid to make mistakes. It essentially allows the inner you to come out. For this reason sketches are conceptually unique and highly individual. They portray the inner identity of the artist and are more difficult sometimes to copy as a result than a finished work. It was this realisation that prompted art historians to re-evaluate sketches and even led to the situation where sketches by the English landscape artist John Constable came to be valued as finished works alongside his paintings. The same can be said for chalk and pen sketches by High Renaissance artists Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci which are continually being exhibited in the best art museums around the world.
