art pricings

[fallimar]

Anyone know a good community where I can ask for advice on pricing my artwork? I'm terrible at it and asking on the places I usually go to get commission work get me lowballed like there's no tomorrow XD

Thanks!

Pricing suggestions

[angelmacleod]

Well there are a ton of artists on FA you could see what they charge as well as Deviant Art. Ultimately you need to think at what stage you are on your art and how much time it takes you. Generally most charge for pencil sketches between $15 and $30 USD. Complexity is also a factor. You have to decide how much your time and effort is worth to you. Undersell yourself too much and people will either take advantage of that or not choose from you and if you go too much you will not get anything because most cannot afford it or think it is not worth it. You really just have to compare what others are charging to start. FA I think would be a good place to start for Furry Art.

Love,

Angel

I posted on FA, it's a bad time of year for it, I think! Might have to try again later :)

Artists_beware might be able to point you in the right direction. They had an 'advice for artists' tag last I saw.

yes, I saw that - thought it was a bit presumptuous to post a whole thing to have everyone help just me with my prices XD

I did find another community, but I can't post until my membership is approved. Moh well.
