Sketch
\Sketch\, n. [D. schets, fr. It. schizzo a sketch, a
splash (whence also F. esquisse; cf.
Esquisse.); cf. It.
schizzare to splash, to sketch.]
An outline or general delineation of anything; a first rough
or incomplete draught or plan of any design; especially, in
the fine arts, such a representation of an object or scene as
serves the artist's purpose by recording its chief features;
also, a preliminary study for an original work.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Outline; delineation; draught; plan; design.
Usage:
Sketch,
Outline,
Delineation. An outline gives
only the bounding lines of some scene or picture. A
sketch fills up the outline in part, giving broad
touches, by which an imperfect idea may be conveyed. A
delineation goes further, carrying out the more
striking features of the picture, and going so much
into detail as to furnish a clear conception of the
whole. Figuratively, we may speak of the outlines of a
plan, of a work, of a project, etc., which serve as a
basis on which the subordinate parts are formed, or of
sketches of countries, characters, manners, etc.,
which give us a general idea of the things described.
--Crabb.
