Sketches Sir Adam excitedly hugging girl (8)
I believe the answer is:
diagrams
'sketches' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'sir adam excitedly hugging girl' is the wordplay.
'excitedly' is an anagram indicator.
'hugging' is an insertion indicator.
'girl' becomes 'g'.
'sir'+'adam'='siradam'
'siradam' is an anagram of 'diarams'.
'diarams' enclosing 'g' is 'DIAGRAMS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diagrams that I've seen before include "Adam's rig (anag.)" , "Drawings showing how things work" , "Drawings, graphs" , "Technical drawings" , "Explanatory drawings" .)
