They’re similar to something you would doodle while talking on the phone with someone, and once you’re finished talking, you realize that you created something unintentionally appealing–even if it’s only appealing to you.

I think that’s what makes the preparatory sketches are a bit more relate-able. You can view them and know what brought on such a sketch and the sketch disconnects itself from art because it was never intended to be art itself, but only a first step to the actual work.
