Remember this!
Draw and sketch are both verbs that refer to the act of creating images or representations using pencils, pens, or other drawing tools. However, drawing is typically more detailed and refined, often with the intention of creating a finished artwork. Sketching, on the other hand, is usually a preliminary step towards a final product, and tends to be quicker and more spontaneous, with less emphasis on detail and precision.
