sketches
Rough preliminary drawings
Sketches are rough or preliminary drawings, quickly executed to capture essential features without fine detail.
Artists make sketches before committing to finished work.
The word extends to brief outlines of any kind: a sketch of the plan, biographical sketches.
In entertainment, a sketch is a short comic scene, as in sketch comedy.
To sketch is to draw or describe in outline: She sketched the layout on a napkin.
