Sketches are Don't Starve Together exclusive items, introduced in A New Reign. They can be given to a Potter's Wheel to unlock a specific Chess Piece for crafting. Once the sketch is given to a Potter's Wheel, the figure becomes available to any player near the Potter's Wheel. Note that destroying a Potter's Wheel which has taken any Sketches will also drop the Sketches. Sketches can be erased at a Cartographer's Desk to get one Papyrus. All Sketches have a fuel value of 15 seconds.
Performing each of the above actions will unlock the respective chess piece in the world. This allows for the matching trinket or sketch to be found in Tumbleweeds. Chess piece trinkets may be traded with the Pig King to obtain its corresponding sketches.
The Boss Monster Sketches are dropped when the corresponding Boss Monster is killed. Except that Frostjaw Sketch is dropped when traded with heavy Ocean Fish.
The Sketch itself is just about the shape of the piece to be crafted, the color of the crafted pieces will be determined based on the materials used to craft it, where using Marble results in a white piece, using Cut Stone results in a black piece, and using a Moon Shard results in a glassy blue piece.
Only during the Event:Year of the Varg
The Clay Varg Figure Sketch can be acquired at the Varg Shrine in exchange for 16 Lucky Gold Nuggets. It can then be given to a Potter's Wheel to be able to sculpt Varg Figure.
The actual drawing on many Sketches' icons is of an unmined Bishop Sculpture. The Clay Varg figure sketch was introduced with a unique icon, and of all sketches introduced since then, only the Eye of Terror and Twins of Terror figure sketches have the same generic icon as earlier sketches.
