finished drawing

Done with illustration

A finished drawing is a completed artwork, as opposed to a sketch, study, or work in progress.

The term implies the artist considers it ready for display or delivery: The gallery only accepts finished drawings, not preliminary sketches.

In art instruction, distinguishing between studies and finished drawings helps students understand when to stop refining.
