in need of advice for commissions
11 years ago
I wanna start making money for what I do.
I was planning on being cheap (since I provide a background anyway)
like 2-3$ a character and what not.
I need advice.. help?

I need the extra money for bills and if I can put that extra cash in my pocket by drawing then I'm more than willing to do so. I also want to keep the prices reasonable that way if someone commissions me and then decides afterwards that my style is not working or something, then no extreme harm done.
Idk. I thoughT doing the free ychs would grab attention..
Honestly I'm not very confident in my own experience (I've only been working for three months///), but I spent a solid month looking around and reading up on taking commissions and pricing advice. Here are some of the better resources I've found, please give them a read!

Hope this helped!
Thank you for the links, I will look at them♡
You could also try just starting at a flat rate and then add that much per character so you could get more out of it
Plus if you're willing to send a physical copy thats already a really good price!
I know you're still starting out on tablet and it'll take some time but try to practice in-between because usually digital will catch more peoples attention then traditional the first time around ;; I know you have a lot of potential in it (> w <
Its never easy just starting commissions but you'll have to buckle through it and don't get discouraged if people don't buy right away its a tough thing to get into but I know you'll get there ♥
Thanks muubles.
I sent you a copy of my commissions sheet on skypeople so be sure to check it over for me!
but i think your price is a bit too low. maybe start with 5?
considering the amount of work youre putting in your pictures, i suppose ; v ; ?
also, providing a good portfolio of your works so people will know what youre capable of doing~
others really gave nice advice * V * hopefully those helped you ; v ;
im bad at advises OTL
