: Is this still a sketch? I have made two drawings and I copied both of them from someone on deviantART. These are my first drawings so I have very little knowledge about the subject. The first

There is no definite line between something being a sketch and being a drawing. A drawing is generally considered to be a sketch if it is to be used to create another piece. Usually a sketch is rougher, with less detail than the finished piece.

Only you can decide if it's still a sketch. Being a sketch doesn't make something less worthy as a piece of art. Sometimes a sketch can be the finished piece. Sketches by famous artists have been sold for tens of thousands of dollars!

Call it a sketch, a pencil drawing, a pencil portrait. It doesn't really matter, since there are no exact terms.

Sketch is an illustration of existing facts, ideas or methods or all of them. It's made to prepare something which is planned or at least thought to be possible.

These drawings are in frames, but they can still be sketches. Only you know if they are made as a preparation for something or are they final products.

Probably you are interested, do we here think that your drawing ability is enough for something to be published? If I guessed right, these can be considered to be sketches which demonstrate what your pencil in your hands can output. That question of course need an answer. My opion and that's only an opinion = Yes.

Another opinion: Get original. Then you're an artist.
