Before creating the final version of a drawing, product or drawing, the master always makes a preliminary sketch. This helps to transfer the idea to paper and visually evaluate the future result. Such preliminary drafts are called sketches.
Definition
According to numerous definitions, sketches are sketches that are made before creating an integral artwork or any material object.
In fact, it is very similar to a draft at school. A conscientious student first does his homework in a draft, in which, as he works, he corrects all errors and shortcomings. Only after the work is finished in draft form, the student neatly and without errors transcribes it into a blank notebook. The work is ready!
This is how many professionals work. They first make sketches on paper to capture the idea and get a preliminary version of their plan. So, sketches are a draft of future work.
Where and by whom are sketches used?
The word "sketch" is usually associated with artists and their paintings. This is a very narrow view of the meaning of this word. In so many areas of our lives, sketches are used. This is not only an artist’s workshop, but also areas such as:
- Creation of sculptures (the sketch is an initial small copy of the future sculpture).
- Creation of music.
- Literature.
- Stage decoration in the theater.
- Modeling and design of clothes.
- Architectural design (in this case, sketches are models of future buildings or even the whole city).
- The production of mechanisms and spare parts for them at factories also requires a preliminary sketch - a freehand drawing in compliance with the basic proportions and drawing rules.
- In tattoo parlors. This helps to evaluate how the tattoo will look, coordinate the details with the master, make changes to the drawing. Sketches of tattoos are made by natural dyes and are temporary.
- Programmers always sketch out a preliminary sketch of the interface of a future site.
- Bills can also be called legal sketches.
It is clear that the surgeon, firefighter and teacher do their work right away in the final version.
Sketches that have become masterpieces
Many talented artists - Surikov, Leonardo da Vinci, Aivazovsky, Edgar Degas - created sketches of drawings with such skill that their sketch masterpieces are revered by descendants for independent works of art and awarded museum exhibits.
