Ewulp: please don't revert this again. It's really important that the change in meaning get across, because it's a fundamental part of knowing how to draw, well. Experienced artists use sketches, more than any other reason, to test out the "heart" of any time-consuming finished piece, and get it right before they start doing the tedious work - work that might go wrong, if they didn't plan well. One can reference this from Da Vinci's sketchbook, or any of dozens of illustrators, if you'd like - it is THE suggested working method. In fact, this is true in practically any field - it's why architects make scale models, or why directors make storyboards. Unfortunately, it's still not obvious to beginners. It's incredibly important that anyone who is going to get into drawing avoids the beginner's mistake of not using sketches to plan a work. Wikipedia can reach and educate so many people. Let's get it right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Satariel ( talk • contribs) 04:09, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
This article overlaps with pencil sketching. I agree that they should be merged into this article. — C.Fred ( talk) 01:00, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
I also support a merge, for the same reasons as C.Fred. -- Allan McInnes ( talk) 04:09, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes i agree with both, it is redundant -- 85.240.168.43 15:02, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
It might be interesting to note about sketching permission policies. For instance, some museums prohibit sketching (to which David Hockney had a clear rebuttal, see Wikiquote http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/David_Hockney), a policy which seems to be increasing recently with stricter interpretations of copyright permissions. On the other hand, courtroom sketching is sometimes the only allowed recording medium, e.g. courtroom sketching. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.211.250.162 ( talk • contribs) 10:12, 7 September 2006 )UTC).
This article needs to be linked to sketchbook. I've been updating the latter and will come back and do that when I've finished Cosmopolitancats 10:12, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Could there not be a section on the validity of sketches being a work of art in their own right? Specifically I'm thinking about some of the Impressionists work.

Is there anything in cartoon sketching which isn't covered here or could be included in a subsection if there is anything signficantly different about cartoon sketching to warrant it? I can't see any such differences --08:22, 8 November 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.7.40.7 ( talk)
It annoys me that inappropriate stuff can be written into an article or silly edits can be made existent material by people who don't sign in, and then get left there, unquestioned, for the next five years, by the people who wrote the page and presumably watch it.
OK! a sketch is a sketch, not a finished drawing. Erasers are rarely used in sketching. It's gone. Amandajm ( talk) 06:38, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
"A pencil drawing is one made by a piece of graphite sharpened into a fine point, and held in a porte-crayon, and the term is usually applied to a drawing made with this material upon vellum or parchment" - oh really?? Plumbago drawings are not really sketches at all. All this section should be cut, with some moved to drawing. We perhaps have too many articles on different types of drawings etc, & there should be some merging. Johnbod ( talk) 12:50, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
