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. Moleskine even have a notebook model called Moleskine Sketchbook. 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.
