Sketch (drawing)

Have you ever taken a pen, pencil, or crayon and doodled on a piece of paper? That's kind of like making a sketch! A sketch is a type of drawing where you quickly make lines and shapes to show what something looks like.

Let's say you want to draw a picture of your dog. Instead of drawing every little detail of your dog, you can make a sketch. You can quickly draw the outline of the dog's body, ears, and tail. Then you can draw some lines to show where the dog's fur goes. You can even draw little circles for the dog's eyes and nose.

Making a sketch is a great way to plan out a bigger drawing or painting. It's like making a blueprint for your art project. Once you have your sketch, you can use it as a guide to make your final artwork.

So next time you want to draw a picture, try making a sketch first! It's a fun and easy way to get started.
