I will say that recording timelapses does help, it shows that drawing is a long process of quantitative changes layered until a complete illustration takes shape. It builds motivation for making future paintings.

It also helps to observe when and how you can change your technique, choices made early on that could have changed the whole end result.

As for my approach to linework, I will add that I sometimes skip it all together in favor of starting with blocking shapes, but that usually goes poorly if I don't already have a strong mental image of what I want to depict.
