Nahh I use those as my "lineart"
yesss, on procreate i use a super thick sketching brush for the first messy messy sketch, and then make it thinner and clean it up bc it’s just easier, takes longer but i find it much easier to start big and messy, then clean it up (sometimes i have to reclean the clean sketch lmaoo, especially when it comes to hands)
It’s my process
Need my sketches to be readable enough for me to ink later on.

I’ll never show my real sketches because of how raw and sometimes incomprehensible they can get
Yup. Sometimes I have multiple sketches (the original, messy sketch, then a slightly less messy sketch on top, and then finally the lineart
Yes ahahah
That's the normal thing to do though???
