Curious!

So a thought has been lingering around my head for a while now, I've been thinking about maybe doing commissions, but it's such a big step that I'm still not sure if I'm ready. The extra money could be nice, but it comes at the price of being able to reach your customer expectations, and that scares me lmfao.
Don't even get started on pricing and all that stuff...
Any advices are kindly appreciated on how to get started in all this stuff! Also if anyone is interested on doing a "test comm" let me know:> I wanna see if I feel comfortable doing everything. Im still not sure about pricing, so depending on what you have in mind I'll give a price

I think you'd do well with comms though with your art <3
Anything animated i'd advise against it unless you want the big bucks and can comfortably do so, just be ready to deal with impatient people. You can charge for detailed backgrounds, while simpler are at a far lower cost, up to you there.
Don't make a mistake some friends of mine do and immediately open up a lot of slots for comms. You WILL be swamped and burnt out easily. Try to find some balance in drawing the commission and taking breaks. Just don't keep someone waiting for an absurd amount of time, example a year or close to it.
This is my opinion of the matter, however it would be wise to gather more information from other people.
I was thinking about something around that for pricing, but honestly the price would mostly depend also on the pose! A simple pose? Sure I'll do it for a few bucks. A complex angle or pose? yea imma need a few buckos more.
Animations and comics are a big no-no for now. I'd have to REALLY need the money to take em.
Usually every drawing takes me around a week, even less if I have extra time, so I was thinking about taking 2-3 at best so I don't have people wanting over a month.
Once again, thank you so much for the help! Very much appreciated it!
You can also do a raffle system if a TON of people get interested in you suddenly.
For now I don't think enough people would be interested on my art, but hey never hurts to dream~
In any case, I wish you good luck with it, if you will really do then!
