Reflecting on stuff (advice welcome)
8 years ago
So, as it happens every so often, such as when i get stressed over stuff, I start to feel bad about not making much off my art. Not just not getting commissions but also stuff in my shop (I'm working on that part by selling at local craft fairs)
But anyway, I was feeling awful earlier today because honestly I downright suck at connecting to people and that's a big part of the art world.
And I feel like another big part of my problem is my pricing, I have been pricing things purely on my skill rather than how many commissions I got. Which made sense to me until today, I should be starting from a lower point than I have been trying to. If that makes any sense?
I've also been in very much a drawing mood over anything else and want to try to get back in the commission game, probably revise my prices and lower them quite a bit until I do start to get more and gradually raise them.
With all my social problems I feel like that would help me more than a pathetic attempt to connect with people.

Also it seems to me that the social links on your page aren't working. :b
also, I don't know why they're not? I'll change them to just urls and see if that fixes it.
Even though I'm still awful, I feel like I am a lot better at trying to connect with people than I used to, since I actually got artist friends in the past few years. Before that, I was a complete hermit.
