Koohii stories:

1) [nolusu] 24-7-2007(173): A sketch is a seedling (#234 苗) of things to come. Before the assault, the sergeant draws a sketch of the attack with his fingers in the sand.

2) [cbogart] 16-12-2006(125): I'm bad at drawing, so when I try to sketch the kanji for cat, you can sort of recognize it, but I don't get the curve of the "wild dogs" just right.

3) [rosgmact] 13-8-2007(68): You chop off one of your FINGERs and plant it like a SEEDLING, planning to sketch it daily to show its progress. Unfortunately, all your sketches are the same - fingers don't grow like that, you see… plus one of your hands is now a bloody mess and sketching doesn't come too easily with a paw like that. All in all, a very bad idea which has done nothing to hone your artistic talent; in fact, you have only impaired it.

4) [AndamanIslander] 10-4-2008(57): Isn't finger paint great? This kanji shows a kid finger painting a sketch of a flowery field.

5) [OddAndersen] 17-4-2008(30): A sketch can be considered the seedling of a full-fledged technical drawing. Contrary to the drawing itself, which require exact measures, rulers, compasses, etc., the sketch can be roughly drawn up using only your fingers.
