resketching

Revising a sketch

Resketching is drawing something again, typically to refine or improve an earlier version.

Artists resketch when the first attempt doesn't capture what they want: She spent the afternoon resketching the portrait's jawline.

The term applies to any preliminary drawing revisited—architectural plans, storyboards, design concepts.
