starting and finishing drawings, trouble with intent, consistency, and finishing

I feel like I struggle to make art in a way which is coherent. I usually sketch ideas on paper just as that - sketches, and don't make finished pieces intentionally. Usually when I get an idea I try to figure it out by Sketching, but my sketches are messy and there isn't much thought about composition. Maybe I should just start making each sketch page a composition? Start thinking of making the sketchbook an actual piece?

Even with that, I always struggle moving from sketch to refining/lineart. I never know when I've sketched enough and when something is ready to be refined... Maybe thinking of the process as separate is a mistake in of itself?

Well its gonna depend, if you sketch get so refined that the feel that it could be a complete piece quicks, try skiping the lineaft and going directly to the finishing touches (color or stuff) there is some artist that work only bya sketchs, and the freedom that this sistem give is very good, also make everything more easy.

But if you wanna start making more "clean" things, i would recomend start going for quicker sketches and less details, that way when you are satisfy with the general idea, then move to the actual lineart and put all the extra details there, its could take the same time and as you would assume, its gonna create a more clean and straight forward piece, even clarifying the idea a lot, soemthing that a sketch most of the time simply can't do
