What is sketching?

acrostic/essay

my own sketch

So, what is sketching? Sketching is an artistic form that is the very beginnings of a drawing or a painting of an object of some kind. An object could be just about anything from the common fruit bowl to a tree to a house, etc. To me sketching is just a way to relax and have fun. As some say a picture is like a thousand words. Artists are writers and writers are artists. One uses pictures and one uses words. To me these two careers are compatible with each other. What would a book especially a children's or youth book be without pictures or at least some illustrations. I think adult books even have illustrations at times if I'm not mistaken.

sketches take many forms that are

kaleidoscopic in many ways while

eliciting and elaborating many

traceable

characteristics

hereby

inciting

noteworthy ideas for

gaining an understanding of life in a basic sense through line, shape and color even though usually in black and white or in shades of gray.
