misdrawings
Poorly executed illustrations
Misdrawings are drawings made incorrectly—pictures, sketches, or diagrams that contain errors or fail to accurately represent their subject.
The term appears most often in technical or instructional contexts where precision matters: The architect's misdrawings led to costly construction delays.
In casual use, any botched attempt at drawing might be called a misdrawing.
