I think there a misconception about posting unpolish stuff you absolutely can but it hard for people to know your level and how much restraint they should apply in the critic it much easier to tell an artist level when it there polish piece.

Study should be mention when you post them if not there a risk that people will assume there is no clear intention

W.ip should be mention to possibly invite critic

Finish piece normally speak for themselve no need to mention it.

The problem of studying throught piece is that it as not the repetitiveness aspect drill in it to improve quickly if improving is necessary to you.If you don't care about fast improvement i understand why it might be a chore. But if you prefer that approch you might hit a plateau where you might get frustrated because your eye is picking up on aspect you didn't address throught what we will call corrective study.

I certainly don't advocat for drill like study for the more advance artist where you hammer certain subject just to avoid rust i think corective study is where it at specially when you start to learn your own weakness.But if you have a problem to be honest or you leak self critic ability with yourself it perhaps better to do drill study just to avoid weak spot but at the same time you can't be strong at everything you have to find your strenght it doesn't mean you should be negligent with certain area of your work.

For example i would say you have a weak spot for perspective but you have a good level for face.

I hope this will help you feel comfortable i just happen to take art a bit to seriously from time to time... gotta remind myself we ain't all like that.
