To WIP or not to WIP

Recently I've been thinking about my WIP photos. About how rarely they look any good.
I must admit I'm quite messy painter, and I tend to work on all parts of the mini almost simultaneously, so most of the time my miniature look kinda messy with all these sharp edges between lights and shadows, unfinished parts and missing elements. Sometimes it's even hard to tell what is ready for evaluation and what's just the base colours.

Here are some of my examples:


Maybe I'm doing myself more harm than good publishing WIP photos, maybe it would be better not to show them at all? Publish only finished pieces?

And what's your opinion about WIPs? Do you post them for your own works, or rather not? Do you like to watch how works of other painters are developing in time?

Girl in a Hoodie and 2nd London Meet-up

Yesterday PB painters finally managed to meet again in London (big thanks for the folks from Dark Sphere, who let us crash at their place).
Very nice afternoon and some great talks about techniques, colours and all the little tricks that make painter's life easier.

During the meeting I was trying to push my Girl in a Hoodie a bit further. A tiny bit:P
I was working on the jacket, and focusing on the shoulders and front. Back and the hoodie look rather raw at the moment, but I'm gonna fix that later on.


cheers
