If it's a "here, watch me draw" kind of WIP, then it goes in Tutorials; if it's a "I'm working on something, help me through it" then it goes in "General Discussion". My feeling is we have too many separate forums already.
I don't think "I'm working on something, help me through it" should go in the "General Discussion" forum. I would put it in the Critique forum before the general forum. But the Critique is more for finished work to be critiqued.
I think if you had WIP forum, more people would post WIPs which would help them improve faster.
General Discussion, to me anyway, seems like more of a general discussion forum. Like discussions for art, tools, references, tables, how your day was that day or how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop...
You would know entering the "WIP FORUM" that they are all works in progress. Almost like a class room with people drawing together. If I'm looking for WIP threads, I sure don't want to search for them in the general discussion forum.
