Sketched in Malayalam
The participle ലിഖിത (ligitha) means sketched, and also written or recorded, since it comes from a Sanskrit root about marking a surface. You meet it in literary and legal prose rather than in talk about drawing. In Kerala studios an artist would describe a sketch with the English loanword instead.
