Why do sketches almost always look nicer than final drawings?

Contrast and thick lines, you didn't keep your shadows you had there you just smudged it away.

This question again.
The more you leave up to imagination the more pleasing something is. It's why anime faces for women are all so vague with no definition and no nose. The brain fills in the blanks to each person's own tastes. Messy lines also leave a lot of the form up to the viewer to fill in. Final lines are where you confidently announce any and all errors you might have made. Also it's way easier to fuck up composition with many colors and values compared to a comp that's essentially black and white. Color composition is something that even pros in the industry struggle with because there's exponentially more variables you need to control.

You erased your shadows somehow and have no play with your line thickness in the final product. Why do you do that?
Your final drawing is just a fill-bucketed ripoff of the sketch.

Because you're bad at finishing the drawing
It's always a skill issue, a good sketch is OBVIOUSLY easier to make than a good finished drawing, but a good finished drawing is worth 10 sketches

Because everybody sketches a lot more than they finish, so you have a lot more practice with sketching than finishing.

The final "drawing" is just a traced ripoff in which the lines lost all their original dynamic and flow.

The 'sketch' is a snapshot of all given possibilities - is the line here? Or is it two pixels to the right? Is it curved? Is it angled a little more? And as such it is far more idealistic than the final product which was refined to a single outcome: one that you wish you didnt have because artists will never be happy when they look back....it is drawn by man door hand hook car door sneed
