488 deviants said The sketches. You see the raw life and emotion in the sketches, that sometimes is lost with a fully finished work.
18%
143 deviants said Fully finished drawing. Including the outlines,colors, shading, and or BG. Nothing beats a finished product!
9%
73 deviants said The Outlines. It's a clear image without all the distraction of guidelines and colors. Just "The Lines"
9%
69 deviants said Flat colors. Outlines + the colors so you know what's what with the subject? Me Gusta.

Shadding is the best part for me. This is the step where my pictures usually get to life.
Unlike most people here, my sketches always are flat and emotionless. They get better with the lines and the color, but they are still flat and with few emotion and feeling. They just come to life with the shadding. And of course the baclgound only increases the emotion the sahdding gives to my art while I do it (though my backgrounds suck... no really, they do .__. I need to see tutorials step-by-step while making them, and even like that sometimes I feel the need to re-do it because it looks so crappy ^^;)

I love sketching and that stage of a drawing. It's more freedom in it. There's no pressure when it's just a sketch. You see the character come to life behind those messy lines... And I don't see the flaws at that stage, just the potensial :)

I enjoy coloring / shading the most. ^^
My sketches are quick, messy, and look absolutely horrible.. And drawing lineart is a pain. >_<
But I like to LOOK at a finished drawing the most.

LOVE the feeling when I finish something... In the start I really wonder if a drawing will even be good enough to work on till the end.

The finished drawing, of course, but also the sketch. The very first and the very last step. They both look like they are "alive", in some way :)
