Sketches
A Sketch usually means a rapidly executed free-hand drawing that precedes the architectural drawing. It is made during the conceptualizing process, from which the final plan evolves. A sketch is used to record or develop an idea for later use or it might be used as a quick way of graphically demonstrating an image, idea or principle.
Usually made on paper or tracing paper, pencils, charcoal sticks and sketch-pens are the most popular tools of sketching.
