'quick sketch' is the definition.
'thumbnail' can be an answer for 'sketch' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'quick' bit.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thumbnail that I've seen before include "small picture" , "Digital process" , "This digital-type sketch is brief and concise" , "Kind of sketch r" , "Sort of sketch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
