I'm considering beginning to upload the historical artwork of an artist but a number of their work posted has been sketches rather than full complete artwork.

I've seen "sketch" level work here before, even noticed the tag for it, but I'm curious if there's any solid rules for what level of "sketch" is considered acceptable.

I assume a scribble and a circle is too little, but ONLY posting the completed artwork seems limiting too.

Completed artwork are preferred over WIP or rough sketches. In most cases, the latter would be deleted for being inferior over the superior completed version.

If the rough sketches are the only version available, it depends on the level of "completeness".
You are not allowed to upload low quality submissions that consist of only scribbles, but you can upload unfinished sketches if they are high quality enough.

There is no solid rules to what level is considered appropriate, so you will be taking a gamble if it is a very rough sketch.
A good rule of thumb is for it to be on par with or of higher quality than those that are already approved on the site.

I'd say, maybe drop links to them either from your gallery, or a bunch on imgur, and wait for opinions

I've posted a sketch that showed the progression/process that was right before coloring/digitizing or equivalent steps.
Compare post #5349385 and post #367909

I thought this one was decent quality and apparently, an approver (abadbird) agreed:
post #5310878
14-bis/airaf/faria is a good artist, though.
Finished: post #32209

Another good one, uploaded by someone else, by that artist:
post #4315410

Line art and sketches can be good enough to meet the requirements.
