I love how fluid your sketch work is! how do you get confident in posting sketches without them feeling sloppy or unfinished?

thank you!! when i think about it, there are basically two main things that lead to me posting a bunch of sketches:

1.a lot of the time a pile of sketches is the only thing i have the energy/attention span/stamina to create. it's this or nothing!

and

2. i like my sketches! i am very often self-conscious/down on myself about the fact that the overall balance of what i post online is far more sketches/draft work than polished illustrations, but i'm not bothered by the fact that individual sketches are sloppy/unfinished, if that makes sense.

basically this may not be an answer that's specifically helpful to you but for me it's not a confidence thing so much as just the fact that sketch work is what works for me. i don't think Ability To Post should be the end-all be-all of drawing stuff; if the idea of posting your sketches makes you feel anxious or uncertain, i think it's worth it to ask yourself if maybe it's just okay that you don't like posting unfinished stuff, rather than automatically considering that discomfort something that has to be Worked Through. (this is my very specific perspective coming from a place where agonizing over things being Good Enough To Post has done more to dent my confidence/make me freeze up and feel art blocked than anything else; practicing moving away from Posting Stuff as the end goal of drawing has been really valuable for me.)

if in the end u are really like "no, i WANT to learn to be cool with it," and/or "the end goal of posting stuff publicly IS really important to me," you can always start small! posting first to a private account or sharing w friends on discord first, rather than hucking it directly to strangers on main, can be an easier way to get into it; or maybe you'll find it easier to collect a bunch of sketches and post them all at once, instead of one at a time. also anyone who would think anything rude about you posting scraps/wips is a joyless dickhead anyway, so do keep that in mind
