It's no secret that many artworks begin life as drawings. Paintings emerge from sketches and doodles, sculptures start out as penciled-in shapes and volumes and even films and videos are mapped out on storyboards long before anyone ever picks up a camera. In that sense, drawings are to visual artists what dress rehearsals are to actors -- a chance to work out the kinks and get things right.
