I love seeing the sketch, but I don't mind whether I see it before or after I see the finished product. If I had to choose, I'd want to see the final product before the sketch.
Seeing as I joined DA to pretty much to suss out how to create better illustrations seeing the behind-the-scenes processes is very much something I'm interested in.
I love seeing sketches, but perhaps you should send it to scraps. I'm always trolling the scraps folders of every deviant I cross, looking at how they interpret and work out an image.
I'm in the minority, so I'll speak up. I like seeing the sketch or rough after the final peace. For me, seeing the rough first is like reading the book before the movie. It is a disappointment to me. With the rough or a book I use my own imagination to flesh out the image then, when I see the artist finished peace it is never exactly like my imagination. I'm am not saying it is worse, just different and the difference is a disappointment. But if I see the finished peace and the rough at the same time I don't have time for preconceived ideas of how it may look. I get the fullest statement the artist can present. And to me, the real pleasure in art is trying to see the artist's statement for all that it is worth. I like seeing the rough because, it gives me a starting point, to view the process of the artist.
