  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.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     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.
