concept sketch
Rough visual idea
A concept sketch is a rough, quick drawing that captures the essential idea of a design before detailed work begins.
Common in architecture, product design, and game development, concept sketches explore possibilities without committing to precision: The architect showed us several concept sketches for the new building.
The emphasis is on communicating vision rather than technical accuracy.
