oh ill check this out!

I just watchet it 2 days ago!
RU! You're awasome!

Because we're never actually taught how to charge for our WORK it's really, really hard when we're just starting to break through our shells to the world.
When i started, i looked for other artist's abilities and prices and well, it varies from site to site but in here i see really high prices that are actually good because the drawings you get are awesome, but i also see a lot of high prices people who aren't quite the best at drawing put on their art... But what i see the most is people searching for "newcomers" who have excellent pieces and still have the most stupidly low prices.

I've learned fast how to value a bit more my own work but sometimes I do still get "hey, i just wanted stuff for free" when i got slots taken by people who knows i sometimes DO draw things for free... or "what, you don't do requests? That's dumb i mean look you can get exposuuuure" (i laughed at that part of the video) and i get let down. It's really hard when you start, maybe you went through that too? ;v;

Being a freelancer is not as hard as it may sound AFTER you started. Also you have to be constant about your stuff as the video says :P I think that's the most important thing.

This was a really helpful video, Ru. TY!

I havn't been to Newgrounds in a -long- time! Might have to visit again =)

I'd want to fav this journal, it has been really helpful.
Also I don't feel as guilty for taking a long time on commissions now, since I'm both cheap and quality, heh.

Thanks for this video Ru. I think service is important when it comes to Freelancing, being polite,friendly and keeping clients up to date. I wish more clients would be generous, granted there are plenty of great ones but unfortunately as in every line of work, you get clients who are jerks/try to swindle/completely difficult.

thank you for the video, RU!

......So true

I cant tell you how manny times people came to me with the "exposure, partnership, experience" thing.

Ironically they are on livestream right now:

Ah draw with jazza...

Hmmm... This is useful for the little people like me x3
Thanks so much for posting this. It's actually really really informative. Pricing is always very very hard to figure out. It's definitely something to keep in mind for any artist who dreams of freelancing

Awesome share, Ru!

wonderful, thank you for sharing!
