A hasty or undetailed drawing or painting often made as a preliminary study. Traits include rough lines, monochrome or basic coloring, and left over structural shapes.
Not all pictures with these traits are considered sketches, such as post #2721361 and post #2722170. Posts with proper use of the sketch tag are post #2720851 and post #2722791.
Abbreviated on Pixiv as "rkgk", which comes from the Japanese word for sketch (θ½ζΈγ, rakugaki). Not all pictured tagged as "sketch" by the artist should be tagged as sketch on Danbooru. The picture must look like a sketch for it to apply. Translated tags have been removed from this wiki, because artists tend to use this tag in a very misleading way.
Sketches are not sufficient reasons for flagging. See howto:flag.
The following tags are aliased to this tag: rough and rough_sketch (learn more).
