Skĕtch'y, a.

a. Containing only an outline or rough form; in the manner of a sketch; incomplete.

The anatomy of the whole figure is magnificently developed, the limbs appearing to be almost animated by muscular action and energy, and yet the execution is sketchy throughout; the head, in particular, is left in the rough; but every stroke of the chisel has so told, that, excepting on close examination, it scarcely seems to need more of finish. J. S. Hayford.
