Sketch

A sketch is a drawing or other composition that is not intended as a finished work. Sketches usually serve to store ideas for later use. In a similar manner, the word can be used to indicate an impression of something, as in the title to Miles Davis's album Sketches of Spain.

The word is also used to describe a series of short comedic performances; see sketch comedy.
