There are as many approaches to sketching as there are visual thinkers of every kind that find a use for visual feedback and communication.There are tens of thousands of approaches, techniques, and media that can facilitate visual thinking and communication. There are infinite variations and combinations of these.
Every individual, depending on which possibillities are encountered, in what order, choices made, degree of enthusiasm for each, time available, intention, and more, develops a unique set that are habituated to varying skill levels. These tend to habitually emerge when deemed applicable in each persons use of visual stimulus. It is often referred to as style.
This learned insight and skill-set develops and is enhanced or impaired by a wide variety of inputs that can be randomly encountered, taught by various degrees of skilled instructors, self explored, creatively invented, etc. All inputs may be ignored, rejected, experienced and remembered for cases where useful, embraced enthusiastically, and revisited later, or not, multiple times under different circumstances with different reactions.
Every individual may freely choose to develop multiple sets (or styes) for specific or general intentions. A highly experienced and creative individual may invent a more or less unique style variation for ispired individual efforts.
Historically, cultures and subcultures have developed distinct styles with assigned meanings to visual choices and relationships. These are easily recognizable and can become very entrenched.
Due to infinite possible combinations It would take a large volume to illustrate just the generally recognized categories. I can only offer a few examples here to jump start your inspiration.
