What is the difference between a sketch and a rendering?

Answer 1

Sketching is a quick drawing done to put your ideas down, it's often lineart and very messy but captures the general idea.

Rendering is the process of refining and adding shape and form to a drawing/painting in the terms of shadows. Ie a slightly more refined process.

Answer 2

Sketches are the humble beginnings of your working drawing. They are ideas put down, roughly, before you decide on your approach to the working piece. The working drawing is usually the idea decide upon and is in the process of development.

Answer 3

When you sketch, you use a pencil or a pen, but a pencil will work better, and usually do not color it in; instead, you just leave it in black and white, or whatever color you sketched it in. But when you paint, you use a paintbrush and color it in if you want to, but you do not have to. Also, when you sketch, you use a graphite pencil, and you usually sketch on a piece of paper, or if you are bored at school, in your notebook. But, when you paint, you paint on a canvas, which is a wooden frame covered with a certain material, and you usually use acrylics.

A sketch is a drawing or plan that is done quickly without all the details. Completed work is a finished job that is performed according to the sketch.
