Sketch \Sketch\, n. [D. schets, fr. It. schizzo a sketch, a
   splash (whence also F. esquisse; cf. {Esquisse}.); cf. It.
   schizzare to splash, to sketch.]
   An outline or general delineation of anything; a first rough
   or incomplete draught or plan of any design; especially, in
   the fine arts, such a representation of an object or scene as
   serves the artist's purpose by recording its chief features;
   also, a preliminary study for an original work.

   Syn: Outline; delineation; draught; plan; design.

   Usage: {Sketch}, {Outline}, {Delineation}. An outline gives
          only the bounding lines of some scene or picture. A
          sketch fills up the outline in part, giving broad
          touches, by which an imperfect idea may be conveyed. A
          delineation goes further, carrying out the more
          striking features of the picture, and going so much
          into detail as to furnish a clear conception of the
          whole. Figuratively, we may speak of the outlines of a
          plan, of a work, of a project, etc., which serve as a
          basis on which the subordinate parts are formed, or of
          sketches of countries, characters, manners, etc.,
          which give us a general idea of the things described.
          --Crabb.

Sketch \Sketch\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Sketched}; p. pr. & vb. n.

   n.]
   1. To draw the outline or chief features of; to make a rought
      of.

   2. To plan or describe by giving the principal points or
      ideas of.

   Syn: To delineate; design; draught; depict.

   To make sketches, as of landscapes.
