Shading  Creating a smooth, blended area representing a shadow. Shading involves spreading the graphite or charcoal on the drawing surface and rubbing it with either your finger or a blending stump, or even lamb skin.

Sketch  A sketch is a quick drawing often used to get the basic composition worked out on paper. Sketches rely on form and outline versus highlights, shadows, and detail to convey their points. Many artists use sketches as a foundation for more detailed and sophisticated works of art.
