Etymology
The term "le croquis" comes from the French verb 'croquer,' meaning 'to bite' or 'to sketch roughly.' It originally referred to quick, informal drawings meant to capture the essence of a subject, much like a quick 'bite' of information. Did you know that the word reflects the rapid, almost 'snapping' nature of sketching?
