Preliminary Sketch: A study drawing or a preliminary sketch or drawing is a frequently used medium by artists before starting the actual work of art. Sometimes a study drawing or preliminary study is more important than the finished work of art. Such details from a study drawing or preliminary study help to reveal an artist’s thought processes and techniques.
