Debate: Should digital artists post their raw sketches or only finished pieces?

I used to only post polished renders with perfect lighting and textures. But lately I've been sharing my rough linework from last week's batch and getting way more engagement on those messy early stages. Which approach do you think builds a better audience for a beginner like me?

Rough sketches are like me posting photos of my garden before I actually weed it - raw and honest and full of mess, but people seem to love seeing the ugly truth! Definitely go for sharing those early stages, beginners connect way more with real progress than fake perfection.

Oh man, @spencer_perry77 nailed it, I tried showing off my lumpy pancake flip fails and people loved them more than the perfect ones!

Real progress over fake perfection" applies to everything from cooking to learning guitar, it's just more real.
