They are performed in a haste seeing that they are not considered as the final output. Sketches serve as rough drafts which provide artists room for improvisation. Most sketches include overlapping lines and skewed proportions. On the other hand, a sketch is a form of art too despite their “unclean” appearances.

There are many forms of sketches, one of which is pencil sketch. Obviously, pencil sketches are sketches which are done using a pencil.
