Questions & Answers about Właśnie ten szkic najbardziej mi się podoba.

How does właśnie change the meaning of the sentence here?
In this sentence, właśnie acts as an emphasizing particle. Placed directly before ten szkic (this sketch), it translates to exactly or precisely. It highlights that out of all the options, this particular sketch is the one you like the most.
Why is właśnie placed at the very beginning of the sentence?
Particles like właśnie normally sit immediately before the word or phrase they emphasize. Because it is emphasizing ten szkic, it naturally goes right before it. If you moved it next to the verb, it might instead mean you just now started liking it.
Why do we use mi instead of mnie or ja?
The verb podobać się (to appeal to) requires the person who likes the object to be in the dative case, which makes literal sense if you think of it as appealing to me. mi is the short dative form of ja (I). We use the short form mi rather than the long form mnie because the emphasis of the sentence is on the sketch, not on you, and the pronoun is in the middle of the sentence.
Can I use najlepiej instead of najbardziej to say I like it the most?
No, with the verb podobać się you must use najbardziej (the superlative of bardzo). najlepiej is the superlative of dobrze (well) and is used with other verbs, but not for expressing the intensity of how much an object appeals to you.
