Answer to Question 1

Answers will vary depending on selected art work. Sketches are quickly executed drawings; a direct expression from the artist's brain to hand, usually not intended to be a finished work. Sketches also can be preliminary plans for a future drawing or painting, and function as working ideas that lead to a finished work.

Answer to Question 2

Lippi worked in metalpoint creating drawings with fine, delicate lines and hatching and cross-hatching for modeled effects. Rembrandt used pen and ink to create varied gestural lines, resulting in drawings that included modeled and loosely sketched areas.
