portrait sketch
Rough facial drawing
A portrait sketch is a quick, informal drawing of a person's face or figure, typically done in pencil, charcoal, or ink.
Unlike a finished portrait, it captures essential features with minimal detail: The street artist offered portrait sketches for twenty dollars.
Artists use portrait sketches to study a subject before committing to a full painting.
