dehydrated media such as pencil or pastel are often preferred due to occasion constraints, other than a quickly done watercolor learn or even quickly modeled clay or soft polish can also be considered a ‘sketch’ in the broader sense of the word.

Graphite pencils being a relatively fresh invention, the artists of the Renaissance could create sketches by the expensive method of a silver stylus on particularly prepared paper (known as silverpoint), with results alike to a modern pencil sketch, or, more cheaply, by charcoal, chalk, or pen-and-ink.
