Stick figures for the win, yo!
Well, I suppose you can't get rougher than this: the initial sketch of the main character. Well before her final design and still having a lot of the power I chose to shave off later on:
Mine typically aren't as rough as they used to be anymore, because I specifcally am trying to be cleaner so I don't need to do a clean up sketch before line art. haha.
I tend to do two or three passes on my pencils, and I often make significant changes at the inking stage too, so my first pass is a hilariously rough mess, often with really funny exaggerated expressions, second and third passes neaten everything up.
Examples where you can see some of the first pass pencils:
Second and Third pass pencils:
Then finished pages (sometimes with a bit of spacing added for mobile) look like:
This is only a small part of the entire page, but here goes:[Click the thingies for full view]

And another page...
aaah it's so cool seeing how different everyone's process is! Here's a comparison of a bonus comic I did last month:
Storyboard
Final
..there were some modifications.
Check out the story here!
A recent page of Whispers of the Past:
My rough sketch in all it's glory! Oh, yeah look at that. My hand writing too, ah, so glorious! Why do I even bother finishing my pages? lol.
And then finished.
This is my storyboarding sketch:
This is my clean sketch:
And this is the final result:
Okay I don't have the whole comic but You can see more or less my artistic process here and the final result
Before I hop into skeletons and such, I make a script that goes through revisions and stuff usually allllll the way until skeletons happen! I generally also doodle constantly in the margins.

We're part of the messy sketch gang. This is from a one page panel we did for DETOX.
Here is how a sketch of my comic looks like!
I don't save my sketches :0
I guess I should start doing that now.
I love how rough your first sketch is, but you get the message across!
I'm weird because I don't sketch whole pages. I sketch individual pieces and stitch them together after scanning them. I like it better that way so I can make it flow more in a vertical-scroller setting. I just sketch in ink, take notes on how to edit it, then refine the sketches using a light table.
Kinda weird sharing stuff in webtoon format, but here's a storyboard sketch, rough sketch, and final for one panel.
