2 Votes nah

sorry if im posting this in the wrong place and that it doesnt look super fancy im bad w coding and all that---

examples: https://www.instagram.com/icedcoffii/ (top two rows are most accurate to my current art) , https://toyhou.se/icedcoffii/art (top row is most accurate)

i was thinking of offering both lined art (https://www.instagram.com/p/BmYpGfHDRn3/?taken-by=icedcoffii) and then more sketchy art (https://toyhou.se/icedcoffii/art#9328491) in icons, shoulder-ups, halfbodies, and full bodies.

i've done a few commissions, but i feel as if i've improved since then, and i'm not too sure what to price my art at now. thanks in advance !! :0

aaawhyme

it depends how long they take you! :) i like to price my art depending on time length and how much it hurts my hand, ahaha.

if one of those pictures takes you say... an hour? price it accordingly - for every hour, increase the base price or whether the pic is bust/waist/fullbody. find a base price however. If its just lineart, your lines seem fairly clean, so maybe 7$ - 8$ or so? and if there's flat colour added, maybe 10$ or 12$ and if theres' shading added, maybe 13$ - 15$? I'm honestly terrible with pricing as well, but the trick is to start at a base price, and if you get no bites for a while, adjust accordingly (that you're comfortable with depending on how long a picture takes you, make the price higher if it takes you more than an hour or something along those lines)

i hope this helps somewhat!
