Rant: I used to just post my finished art online, but then I tried showing the process too.

For years, I'd only share the final image on my gallery. Last month, I posted a 30-second timelapse of a character portrait I made in Procreate. The comments and shares tripled compared to my usual posts. People said they loved seeing the sketch and color layers come together. Has anyone else seen better results from sharing their workflow?

I always thought showing the process was just extra work. But seeing your comment about the tripled shares, I tried it last week with a simple line art video. My engagement shot up too. People kept asking about my brush settings, which never happens with just a finished piece. It definitely pulls people in more.

My last process video got flagged for copyright music and killed my reach for a week.
