Once you reach a certain level of skill your WIPs just become finish pieces that happen to be stylised
@faiz ezi work in progress
This!
T-T the urge to reach this stage is SO HIGH
lmao this is what happened to me and now I just like how my digital art looks without the clean lines. I do a sketch, some erasing, and then I color
🧠
Okay but the finished art is seriously so amazing

DUDE FRRR
yeah that’s cuz you suck
I think maybe it's because the WIP looks like cool fanart, while if I saw both with no context, I would assume the finished version was something from an official artbook. It looks polished to the point of being indistinguishable from something made as promo art, so people may no longer register it as being something made by an artist as a labor of love.
and honestly thats the deepest truist shit, and why none of us are van gogh, because in reality hyper finishing a painting to post on a web gallery? Literally why? Most people have medium deep to shallow reasons, most things even davinci made are just practice and failures.
*task failed successfully*
I think this actually says a lot more about how much people like impressionist art than anything.
Well said
ngl the folks out there who assume that you can't have passion for a piece of art you spend time and effort on just because you got paid for it are hella annoying lmao
I think it's because finished pieces can seem so unreal and accomplished that people only subconsciously recognize it as something artificial, while with sketches you see the inner workings and the roughness: something indistinguishably human.
Hey since you seem to know about art why do people post wips?
@@lautaroescarlon7501 in a lot of cases for early feedback on people thoughts or just for affirmation.
@@lautaroescarlon7501 Could be for many things: documenting your progress before you post the final product, filling in large gaps of time when you haven't posted any new work to keep people interested, or maybe treating it as a teaser of sorts to entice an audience to get them excited. It can be any reason, really.
It's dumb because the finished one is way better looking, plus personally I like to appreciate the hard work and time it takes to make something like that as apposed to something that looks rough and unfinished.
It's really sad some other people don't feel the same way...
Still, it's unfair.

This is so painfully true. Like my doodles sometimes get wayyyy more attention, meanwhile something I spend hours on with much more thought and passion gets like… Barely acknowledged. The struggle.
Do you create art for yourself or to be validated?
Honestly, I personally like the look of rough art made by a talented artist as opposed to completely polished work. I think it's because if it looks too realistic, it just looks like a picture or a 3d model. When it's clearly been drawn by a person, you can really see the time that went into it and it has a very charming look.
I do believe I've got it!
It's the same reason bringing out an expensive wine kills your party.
Because where previously we were all looking at your sketch, and allowing ourselves to like it or not, and most importantly *just talking* -
With the final product, we're expected to sit around and talk about it. Other talk gets put on hold to talk about the art - its features, what it did right, etc - and you feel guilty if you don't, like you're being wasteful by not appreciating the art properly.
On Twitter, people find it awkward to engage with that sort of situation - so they don't.

@@myannguyen1274 Makes sense considering where the character comes from
Honestly, sketches looks like art with a unique special art-style, while finished pieces, even though also looking insanely good, just feel like another art on the internet
Yeah I've thought about that effect whenever I see incredibly detailed and almost realistic. I suppose it's the burden of being so accurate that there isn't really anything compelling to it. If I were to see art of an eye, and it was detailed down to every light reflecting off the eye, I wouldn't really gain anything from it because at that point it just looks like a regular eye. I think the sketch is more compelling because the roughness and flat shading gives it a nice charm, almost like a comic iteration of Malenia. As opposed to the finish product which looks like it can be a still from the game. Art is very technically good, but as an observer, I find there to be less interesting qualities to the final than the sketch.
So what’s the point then? Why getting better and focusing on the details when people simply don’t care?
@@kiporaan Because you enjoy it. If you only improve at a skill for the recognition of others you're setting yourself up for disappointment. If you wanted recognition you can follow trends, if you want to improve your skill because you enjoy it, then no one can take away it's value.

Your “quick sketch” is better than any drawing I’ve ever done
I think the reason sketches look better is because their flow is better, the final design is often lost and caught up in too much detail
It is and will be always about relatability i think. The moment people can kind of see the lines you draw and the process you went through the more impressed are they because they can relate to the work. The moment you finnish and polish a work it becomes more abstract and harder to understand what work went into it for the average viewer. I remember that this effect can be best seen in kids who are absolutely dumbfounded by someone who sketches in front of them and some fully rendered high quality picture of say a commercial product. They appreciate the product highly but are emotionally more impressed by the handmade look of the sketch. Splasharts in League of Legends take 100 hours to paint and are done masterfully with all the tricks and fundamentals you can possibly learn in digital and analog art but still people think its ez to do or is not even done manually because they dont understand the process.
I like this explanation! I’d never really thought about it before but it makes so much sense. It’s almost as if when something is “too good” I just chalk it up to “this was done by a professional” vs. “Wow! This must have taken a lot of time and effort”
I think I prefer when Art is kept Black and white, gives it a manga vibe.
I remember I was marveling at a game artist I followed that drew pieces in 4 hours. Start to finish. I was amazed. I remember my ex-boyfriend said "Wow, it takes so long"........... I almost hit him. Also, I can make a lot of money by doing art in front of crowds fast.... Make a show of it.
I really like this explanation as well. I'll try to look at my art from the pov of an outsider from now.
I think another factor is a WIP keeps people focusing on your art more. It makes them think "what will it look like finished?" which in turn makes them like the piece more.
When they don't have to fill in any blanks as to what it's final form looks like, it's a simple scroll to it, say it's cool, scroll past.
I….I don’t know. I mean, I think that it’s the messiness, the rough texture, the fact that the sketch has a lot of unorganized lines and minimal-color yet it still resembles a face, a helmet, hair in the wind(stuff that the final piece eventually becomes) Idunno, I like sketches more than final pieces sometimes so I’m trying to explain as to why *I* like it
You don't drawings that undergo the "render" process?
@@sugar2000galaxy I’m sorry, say that again?
@@PowWowChikaBowWow6902 I think they were asking if you don't like fully finished rendered art pieces.
@CæpricOrn . Or he may have forgot to write "like" so he'd be asking if Pop doesn't like drawing after render
less is more. are u want to say that?
To me I think the biggest issue is people not understanding what goes into finishing a piece. The first WIP sketch is something I can understand how it was done. I can see the artwork and see what it would take to make it, but know I don't personally have the skills to do it were I given the tools. But the finished piece is so incredibly perfected that I honestly have no clue how difficult it would be to make it. I don't even have the slightest idea what tools were used! It seems perfect and naturally I think to myself "that person has tools that makes this possible." It isn't just a matter of the person's skill being so beyond my own, it's also the tools. Since I have no idea what tools are used it could literally be as easy as pressing four buttons and the tools just generate 99% of it. It's a skill so far removed from what most people have experience in, and then it's combined with technology most people have no awareness of.
That sigh at the end is just so genuine...

My favorite is when an obviously very skilled artist posts something that clearly took 3 - 4 hours and writes, "Just a quick sketch."
Sketch usually are just polished lineart or an actually very messy colored lineart.
3 or 4 hours *IS* a quick sketch.
it probably mostly just is something the artist didnt take way too seriously, isnt their best work. or they want to feel good lmao

@@aqifilmam3196 that shit took more than 2+ hours lol atleast 5+ if you were really dedicated. Reduced time since there isn't a background (just less frustration).
The name for the layers are something else tho
I guess what excites people is feeling involved with the process
Personally, I think the reason why the sketch got so much attention while the finished product didn't is not only because of the "rougher and more free" aesthetic of the sketch but also because you shortened the hair. To me, the part that really made an impression was the long, wavy red hair that stood in stark contrast to the grey and dull helmet. Although the finished product looks more polished, the hair shortening and reducing of volume really made the finished product feel flat and generic.
Kids, this is why if you're EVER going to draw and post online, do it for the satisfaction of YOURSELF. You can post it for other people to see if they want, but you ought to just be motivated by the fact that you're putting pieces no one else has done and that YOU wanna see.
Or only post finished works. Not that the sketches aren't worth merit, but rather that they will shine brighter once they're finished.
I agree

yeah as a artist myself this is true. everyone likes my wips (i don't post those anymore due to this) more than my other pieces and it just bugs me since i'll spend hours on end working on something that no one likes :/
Yep. I can’t even bother anymore. My drive is damn near completely gone. It sucks
I hide my wips next to finished ones, but still it's quite irritating how much the unfinished piece gets so much attention while ur sad drawing just sits in the corner :(

@@gacha_whiskers just be me, never finish anything
That's the most Devine art I've ever seen!
We all will look at the finished product and appreciate it for the fullest, but there's just something about the roughness and free hand look to the sketches that make it more appealing.
Unrelated but I sometimes color my sketch in the most detailed way possible to the point that I don't feel motivated to do the actual lineart anymore
Interesting
dont do it then, its like a cool style jshdjdj
I got to a point where my sketches are clean enough for me to not even do lineart lmaoo
I think the key element in a post is the surprise effect. When people first see your (pretty well done) sketch, most of the piece is already discovered. Composition, colors, general aspect... People go "wow !" for the first time.
When you post the finished version, they are already "used" to the piece so it has less impact. Less new, less interest, they moved on.
I personally post crappy photos of my screen, zoomed in, taken with my phone and with an angle so we don't totally understand what's going on first, but people want to know, so they have to wait a bit until the final result... and BAM !
That’s why I don’t show my friends my art until it’s completely done 😂 I love their reactions but if I show them a WIP it isn’t the same when I’m done
Contributing factor - but I think the main reason is simple.
It's the same as why bringing out an expensive wine kills your party.
Because where previously we were all looking at your sketch, and allowing ourselves to like it or not, and most importantly *just talking* -

@@theregalproletariat that just sounds overly complicated
@@theregalproletariat I think I see what you're saying. But the situation applies on every sites and every platform, even on art specified ones (like instagram or tumblr and deviantart back in the days) where you know you will (hopefully) see some definitive results at some point. + I remember the communities were pretty strong there too. I never went on Twitter so maybe it's a very specific reaction from there ?
genuis
I see a lot of people saying it’s because sketches are more “relatable” or “raw” and I don’t think that’s the case at all. This piece is not a great example of this but most WIPs are a thousand times more immediately legible than the fully rendered piece, and being visually succinct is the best way to get people to interact.
It's because people's digital WIPs look impressionist and that's one of the most popular art styles in human history. Their finished piece then looks like a slightly blurry 3D render that's simply less visually interesting.
This is so relatable💀
Same thing happens when you post something randomly with less efforts and it blows up but when you post something with so much efforts and creativity it goes unnoticed 😭
I feel this
🥺😭🤗
Just algorithm luck for the most part. Having said that, your WIP can pass as legitimate final pieces for many people and artists as well. And when you finally post the finished piece people have essentially already seen it. Could be worth experimenting with just posting finished pieces instead of WIPs + finished.
Best comment here. Lots of sense
Ohhh that's why.

Srsly tho there is something about unfinished art that just makes something feel so genuine
maybe because it looks more of an art
@@humanwithanti-magicdemonpo8636 or because you can have an idea of the process.
@@humanwithanti-magicdemonpo8636 true
That finished art looks more like a render and some people won't believe you actually made it
I think part of it is also because alot of us have consumed alot of movies , shows , games that have detailed designs. its a different experience seeing a very messy sketch.
Sketches are less intimidating than rendered artwork. Finished artwork can make us feel insecure which can cause a feeling of repulsion or distance between the art and viewer "something too perfect or ideal" however lazier artwork is much more relatable and comfortable for our self esteem. I've noticed this greatly as I refined my skills as an artist over the years. Being too skilled in this day and age is too much for a lot of people's egos.
The thing is that a lot of finished work just looks like another piece of "good art" that you see billions of all the time. Like in this one the sketch had really cool looking harsh contrast color composition. The finished one just looks like a normal well made painting. Thats why sometimes really shity artists can have followings. Just raw quality gets old fast. Thats what Ive seen online.
That only holds true until most artist start painting in the same rough - unfinished style and realism in return becomes rare. It's a pendulum that swings back and forth just like fashion. That is why an artist should stick to the style that comes naturally to them without being swayed by the crowd. Just look at Instagram.. A few years ago realism was in and now sketches and simple, spontaneous artwork is popular.
I hate the fact I as an artist try so hard to get followers on instagram, and see people with worse skills than me have way more followers than me. It feels so unfair. I was told ''your art is not good enough'' and when i improved i got slapped with ''i don't care you're good enough now''
Art by a shit artist will always look shit regardless of how detailed it is. A good artist makes art that looks good even if it's rough or unfinished.
In other words, the finished product looks like concept art for a video game or high quality fan rendition of a character from any medium. We see professional level stuff all the time because that's what is required in actual products.
@@plexyglass_ Welcome to reality I guess...
But like both the WIP and finished pieces are absolutely stunning 🤩
Post at the correct time on the correct day of the week. Posting as soon as you finish is a good way to kill your post's reach by posting at weird hours.
It took literally more than 5 months for me to finish a digital art, I was back and forth and it was very hard for me to paint it. Well, it didn't even hit more than 20 likes last time I checked. I really don't like thinking of making art just for likes and views, because it can be frustrating when you expect other people to recognize how much work you put into it. I try to think "I'm doing this for myself and because I like it, if other people like it's just a consequence"
Please consider this, the likes and retweets you got for your WIP encouraged you to finish the art. It proves it doesn't need to be perfect when you put your soul into it. Great art❤
Its a famous art piece. Ive seen it so many times on the internet. Congrats on creating a sensation
Never thought about posting them separately. I usually just put them together in a single post
Been there. This "viral" factor is just something that you cannot control in social media. To make something viral, that content needs to be posted on the right time, seen by the right people, retweeted by the right people, which also followed by the right people, etc, etc... if you marks all the spots, it's just a snowball effect and the post would go viral. But if you're not... well..
There are social media strategies to help you get more engagements, like post the content on "rush hour times" (like in the morning or evening where most people are commuting, or during lunch time), using catchy/clickbaity captions or certain hashtags. But if you're just unlucky, something like this video would still happen.
Honestly engaging in that sphere is unhealthy and should be avoided. Post your shit on artstation and be done with it. Posting you shit on facebook and twitter and the likes is a waste of time and just destroys your dopamine receptors
Tried it in twitter, ended it into almost getting my art stolen and having a burnout after looking at the finished product.

An idea why this happens could be, that when we look at a sketch, we think "Someone drew this", a fellow fan or something. We want to cheer for them and their passion, and are more likely to share/like. However when we see a perfectly rendered drawing, even though we know a person must have created it, in our heads it's more closely associated to what we're used to seeing from a professional piece of work, a product, like promotion art for a game. So it's no longer as personal and thus we're less likely to share/like. And since pressing that button is probably more of a gut reaction for most people, that subconcious connection to either a passionate artist or an impersonal corporation has an especially big impact.
Weird logic
@@real_rutmen As in, you disagree? Or as in "yeah people are weird like that, I agree"? :D
@@plasticflower as in " i completely disagree"
@@real_rutmen Ah, I see. Oh well...
I completely agree tho lol
I prefer sketches than finished products because as a beginner artist I can see how the artist drew the sketch by only seeing it, something that I can't do with something more finished and polished
Plus it does look very "corporate" like if it's finished, kinda like when I see a Disney animated movie, I know hundreds of people worked on it, it doesn't feel as achievable anymore
The sketch makes you see things that aren’t there while the finished drawing simply shows everything it has to offer. A sketch can imply a lot more than a finished product.
"Perfect work is not always the best"

I understand the frustration that artists go through when this happens, but I’m someone who takes weeks or even months to finish an art piece to its completion. It’s frustrating because after some time I lose motivation to continue, so in all honesty I’m actually happy and grateful that ppl prefer sketches over finished pieces more, that way I can move on to my next project and not have to worry so much

this is honestly one of the most disheartening things and i hate it when it happens
This is why I never post sketches and wips honestly. Even comments about "sketches always feel more alive to me" just bug me to death. Because it feels like the artist's TRUE VISION of the final result is NEVER realized.
Its davincian as hell u kno, its the actual art curse we all talk about. Davinci is the master above all because of his figure drawings, and half of his masterpieces are literally unfinished and or large drawings. But ofc at least in the end the painting he kept working on throught 2 decades was the Mona Lisa, which he kept working on til his death. Then quickly you have Goya
Goes to show how important art style is to people, even if it’s less impressive on a technical level
I just really hate realistic/hyper-realistic art, abstract art is superior
@@AverageDayInsideYea I like cartoony/stylized art more than realism
I think it's because the sketch is the raw pure form of what you see in your minds eye when you think of something, it's simple but the basic shapes allow you to interperate what the image is this allows a wider variety of people to enjoy an image regardless of it's actual quality. this is why when it is finished and the lines and shapes become more defined it is easier to spot faults and mistakes in something that is supposed to look realistic, but in some ways falls short. It's like in that redacted berserk chapter where miura explains the idea of something. It's the perfect image and bringing it into reality isn't possible so sometimes things just look better in their unrefined idealistic forms.
In an era teeming with incredible art such as your own; the pieces that stand out are the ones that put who they are as a person into their art. The same factor that made Picasso rise above traditional standards of what 'Good' art is.
This era craves your individuality.
I think you're right more broadly - people crave authenticity.
But here, I think it's more simple.

Figure out what?
Not you leaving everyone hanging.
What the fuck u on abt?
What you re saying
What a poorly made bot. I bet I can do a better one with a computer and one week of internet tutorials.
Couple of reasons why this happens. One, the unfinished sketch is usually high contrast and catches the eye, it's rough and shows the artist's personality. The finished piece, while great mechanically, doesn't catch the eye as much. In the sketch you had the figure alone, so the eyes immeidately go to the hair and then the face. In the finished piece the lighting is soft, yet harsh and the fleks of ash/dust distract from the person.
Second, posting a WIP of a finished piece catches more eyes because it's the first thing people see. The finished version has essentially already been seen. Don't do things for social media likes is the lesson here. This also doesn't mean you shouldn't post WIPs. It gets views. So keep it up.
that WIP looks like something i would only be able to draw over the course of 5 days (without sleep)
I FEEL YOU. THIS IS A CERTIFIED ARTIST MOMENT EVERYBODY.
Sometimes people like the aesthetic of the unfinished art
Like seeing the potential it has
I've seen this on Twitter so much that you find the sketch gets more likes than the final product
Bro this is so relatable xD
The good ones never get so many likes/veiws
As fascinated as I am by the amount of details that some artists can put into their finished works, there's just something about sketches that I like more.
Yeah and that "something"
We just don't exactly know what it is, that's the problem.
unfortunate, but i get this too sometimes. maybe its because people might have less thoughts about finished products so its easier to glance over?? not sure
BUT HOLY MOLY MACARONI THAT FINISHED DRAWING IS GLOOORIOUS
Even the bouncelight on the face of the finished piece is sooo gorgeous. I would only accept the sketch to be better if it had bouncelight.
Well I mean decent lighting a good color composition and a stylised look that overall mixes simple with beautiful to get somthing nice
This is actually a really interesting phenomenon, it seems as if the unfinished piece is able to hold some projection by the viewer and is thus more relatable. It is able to be fleshed out in one’s imagination. The finished piece is so perfect that is has a lot less room to hold the imagination of the viewer, it is too literal.

As an experiment, you could try posting one image with the work in progress and the finished drawing side-by-side. That way you can show your skill of making a beautiful finished art piece while also showing the fact that you put in hard work to make it.
Also, that is a really beautiful drawing.

I was thinking this too! Kind of like how people wearing face masks seem more attractive than when they actually take them off. Your brain fills in the gaps of what it can't see and it's usually something you find personally appealing, but the reality is often different and sometimes clashes with your imagination.
exact reason the anime artstyle is a trillion dollar industry
*THIS IS REALITY 🗿*
I don't know why but sometimes a sketch just looks fucking beautiful.
Forreal, when I pour my heart and soul into something, it gets NO ATTENTION. But if I spend about 2 minutes on something, THOUSANDS OF VIEWS AND LIKES
I’m in love with the soft red glow on the face from the front… amazing details
You are a master of the algorythm my friend. Im so glad I found you again on my new account
"WIPs look better! / They're so unique!"
Do not use this argument to undermine the massive effort put into finished pieces. *Congratulate artists for finishing art instead of solely being there when it's halfbaked.*
I feel like key values in WIP are more attractive than the ones in finished piece.
Most of the comments here are about the art style but I'd approach it in a perspective of 'getting a message'.
You wanted to convey 'a warrior with red hair' and your sketch did it nicely, then you proceeded to finish it and post it again.
To the audience who have seen the WIP before, it's like hearing the same story twice or getting a spoiler beforehand, which makes looking at the finished work feel less appealing.
Maybe not posting the WIP would make the final more well-received.
Yeah this is correct. When you already post the WIP, the finished drawing kinda lost the "wow" factor a little bit. I've seen on social media how some artists post the finished drawing first, THEN the step-by-step WIP on the same thread. I think this is a better approach to post our paintings, because you can keep the surprise element, but also showing people how you made it.
EXACTLY !!!!!! Finally someone that gets it ! The WIP draws all the attention
yeah
Personally, unless the WIP has a bunch of detail and already feels like a finished drawing in of itself then it’s kinda like seeing the same thing. But for example WIPs with only the sketch and not the color or much else, you can’t wait to see the finished product and follow the creator so you get updates-
i agree with this, but ive also noticed that my more messy less-done sketches sometimes get way more attention than work that ive spent many hours on. so i think its a mix of a few things which makes the sketches more interesting to some
memes aside that piece is really good. You’re improving at the speed of light man.
A QUICK SKETCH?!?! NOT EVEN MY FINISUED ARTWORK LOOKS AS GOOD!
appreciate the lovely breathing in the background
i guess once the art style becomes too close to realistic, you better make sure the subject is great because that'll be what people see. The sketch is art, the style looks really cool- the latter is technically extremely impressive, but the style doesn't stand out and it's just a red-haired lady with a helmet on and a breeze in her hair.
Yea thats why I like the WIP more. While the finished objectively has more effort and time put into it, it has a less distinct style than the previous version.
@@watcher271 for me once pieces are rendered they look a lot less dynamic and less expressive a lot of the time
Like even looking at his WIP compared to his finished piece the hair gets less dynamic and flows lower. I’m not a good artist so I can’t really describe it correctly, hopefully u get what I mean though
To be fair sometimes I feel you can get ‘like fatigue’ if people post too many WIP, by the time it’s finished you’re thinking “I’ve liked this so many times already”
Right, I think this is also definitely a factor. You like the wip because it's a cool image and a cool idea, and by the time the finished product gets posted you've already seen it at least once and it's no longer new so it's less exciting.
This. It's exactly this for me. At some point, you've seen the WIPs so many times that when the finished drawing finally appears on your feed, you'll just go "I've seen this already" and scroll past it without thinking much about it.
Right. Most of the comments are talking about style and relatability. But it's just the fact that . . . people have already seen it. If you just post the finished piece, it will get all that attention that the WIP got. You don't have to post WIPs.
The way you drew her hair is just fucking amazing. I admire those who can draw well like this man
I wish I could create masterpieces within a minute.
I draw a lot in class and at this point if I’m doing a dumb drawing that’s not detailed everyone’s like “wow your so good” “I wish I could draw like you” “I can’t even draw a stick figure” and when I’m doing a good drawing with detail every is either like “nice” “cool” “wow” it gets kinda annoying when people are say things like that
Loving it! 😍 Can't wait for the weekend!
That sigh at the end perfectly sums up my online presence.
The sketch is better than what I could ever TRY to make.
The whole world might not appreciate you, but I think the finished version is beautiful
Why does this keep happening tho 😭 i notice it a lot its so disheartening
The finished pieces look overwhelming
I must confess, no twitter eu dou mais likes em WIPs do que dou em artes finalizadas. É muito bom ver o processo de produção e as técnicas de cada ilustrador
ronillust's tutorials are like 1 minute long and are always more helpful than anything ever
