Important decisions Time

_______________________________________________________________
Ok so ummmmm its "do or die", "Go big or go home", "the final countdown" Ummmmmm its choice time...
So I really dont wanna do this to anyone but *sigh* its come to this. I'm gonna start doing commissions I hate to put a price on what I love to do but after talking with my dad and some friends. Me and my dad agree that jobs are very hard to come by and now that I'm out of school. I need to start supporting myself somehow and while I'm looking for a job at the same time I need to find a means of earning alittle bit of money on the sides. My dad said to use my talents and make it more than just a hobby tho I really hate to admit it he does have a point out of the pass two months I only had about 40 dollars and been supporting myself on that alone. So now my question to Everyone and I mean every single person *giggles*
_______________________________
Though it hurts me a little to have to charge people for my art and I love drawing for everyone ^^
Would anyone still like a picture from me even after I start charging?
Whats your idea of a fair price for a Full colored picture from me?
Any other question anyone would like to ask me?

Thanks for reading and answering 
Hard to say if I'd ask for a commission, since I've only done it once before and I don't have much in the way of disposable income. However, I'm certain there are other people who would and I could try to send some traffic your way :3
dont feel bad to charge for something you like to do, its the way people shows their appreciation to your efforts
you will get the rhythm of this quite hard but you will
I suggest you to start low to sell more and spread your art around, but dont forget to keep improving, take commissions as paid practices and always give your best, they will appreciate it a lot

these 2 webpages are your best ally, go through these 2, entirely, and you will gain quite the years of knowledge, the rest its practice and progress, I know you can do it, watchers will come with time, the more you get, the more they will fav your works and spread the voice around, I started like you too, be friendly with your people and they shall come back =]
I say start with 15$ for a full character colored pic or 20 with background
I mostly feel bad for some people cause I know if or when I get better someone eventually is gonna be sad they can't have a picture cause of their own money problems v.v my dad told me I care too much cause of that but i dunno just makes me nervous.
I plan on starting really low since Im not that good yet 15 dollars is what i was thinking for color pictures too. ^^
I been reading and watching the videos on that ctrlpaint site since the day you gave it too me :3
As for the other site its alot to take in for sure >,< Im trying to take on a section a day.
Thank you very much for supporting me glowy it really does mean a lot *hugs*
and huny I was like you, soon you will understand that nothing comes for free, do free art for close friends only, I can assure you most of them will dissapear in a year so enjoy your furry life in peace, you dont owe nothing to anyone
the other page will teach you anatomy an quite useful tips. take a day or 2 to read that page, it will be seful for life
I support people who worths it ^u^ *snuggie* keep improving!
I try not to owe anyone anything ^^
I'll be sure to spend lots of time on the anatomy sections :3
Thank you very much glowy I'm happy to hear that and I will always try my best to improve myself and my art *snuggles*
and yes, keeping furry friends is rare these days
practice anatomy and be more analytic with the things that surrounds you, it will enhance your mind to think on imaginary subjects for your drawings
