How much detail is needed before you stop calling it a sketch?

>How much detail
It's not about the detail itself, it's about the perception of said detail. If you are drawing and don't think it's complete work, and you think it's just a rough draft of what is to come, then it's a sketch in your eyes; which is what art is all about, subjectivity and perception.

In other words: You'll never make it.

I do love seeing good sketches but why
do people never finish them?

there's a sort of "raw energy" that comes with sketches. it's impulsive and captures what the artist truly meant with the idea; while finished pieces that started as a sketch are indeed nice, there's a certain appeal to rawness that some people crave

How are you so post to get to the
final if you marry your sketch?

>so post

You mean supposed?

As to your question, you need to sort of learn how to not marry your sketch. This is what teachers do in art school - they set up multiple projects so no student falls in love with one certain piece. Just keep cranking out art and you'll realize that each one is mileage to get to the next, and eventually you'll reach your magnum opus or some shit.

What happens when that fails? And you don't end up doing anything.

Or you're like me and always love your sketches but despise your finished works so you rarely finish a piece.

What constitutes as a sketch is relative to your standard output. There is no hard fast rule.

A sketch is just something that hasn't been rendered. If you are using lines and implied details it's a sketch. A sketch can be very detailed even, but still be a sketch.

Well that's my thinking on it. Something from "How to Render" really.
