Sketching is the practice of quickly drawing rough, freehand images to capture ideas, observations, or visual concepts, using pencil, pen, or digital tools. Artists, designers, and architects use it to brainstorm, plan compositions, and study forms, while many people also sketch recreationally for relaxation and to sharpen observational skills.
