Douga, sketch, pencil, and pencil sketch all refer to the same thing. A douga is the pencil/colored pencil drawing of the outline of the image on the cel. The graphite portion corresponds to what will become the black lines on the acetate sheet. The other lines may refer to what will become colored trace lines or they may refer to instructions for shading, coloring and blank space. Sometimes douga will have more instructions (like boxes indidcating the zoom) written on them as well.
The kanji for douga mean 'moving image' in Japanese. This sometimes causes machine translators to translate 'douga' as 'animation'.
Often the douga is included with the cel. However, some studios, like AIC, in general don't include the douga with the cel.
