In terms of physics, music and sketching are very similar because they both deal in waves. One craft is sensed with the ears and the other with the eyes. But more fundamentally, both deal in waves.
With music the waves emanate from vibrating objects, while with picture sketches photons emanate from the page with a source of light and translate in our brains as vision. The colors vibrate at their different hues to contact the eye and reach the brain just as the line of shape produces the suggestion of an image.
Similarly, music vibrates the eardrum which moves a series of small bones that send an electrical signal to the brain. Ultimately, with any art the entire goal is to reach the brain of the person and to elicit a judgment or decision about what they perceive in a work of art.
Lines
Lines play a role in both music and sketching. In the sketch,
line is what forms the shape of objects as well as provides many of their
details. An incomplete line too, suggesting the shape of an object’s form,
provides our vision with enough of an outline to force the brain to see the object
clearly through the imagination. 
In music, the line will take form as the shape of the melody, lyric, or meter (rhythm), their combination, and overall effect. Sound expressed in multi-layered forms and stretched across time is how musical lines are structured.
The concept of the line in art and creativity denotes the direction of artistic ideas stretched across time or expressed in an object.
Texture
When the line of an artistic thought achieves a certain
density, it begins to manifest texture. When the image or details from a painting or sketch seems to jump out from the canvas or page and displays three-dimensionality, this is texture manifested. And when the sounds in a piece of music seem to fill a space where you perceive each sonic object as originating from different directions, this too is texture manifested.
Texture in sketch and music can be manifested in thickness,
distances, angles, smoothness, shape, brightness, depth, and their opposites. Playing
with the opposing characteristics of each of these factors is what gives
texture its unique quality.
In its most extreme manifestation, texture imbues the art
experience with the feeling that the artwork is reaching out towards the
audience in an attempt to make physical contact. Done effectively, texture can surround
or overwhelm the individual’s senses in a flood of perceptions that grips their
imagination.
In both of these arts, the lines of artistic expression,
their combined effect, and all the details that each mark, brushstroke, or recorded
vibration, displays in relation to every other line is what transmits artistic
impressions from the artist to the audience.
The value of these impressions is in their ability to communicate sensations of urgencies, significances, and importance to the person perceiving the piece of music or sketch.
