What Goes Into Commission Pricing

[mabkeeten]

I just wanted to write this out while I have it in mind.

What goes into the pricing for art? Let's break it down.

Everything in art costs money, even digital art.
Time is money.

Digital ArtI'll just use myself as an example for this since it's easier

Working in the conventional art gallery, most of the artists will charge on a price per square inch base. Say that you charge 2.00 on a square inch. 10 x 10 inch painting will end up $200 due to the paint per inch status. The price is based on the skill that it took also met with auction prices on how much a painting sold at a given auction. So another case where your normal 200 painting sold at 300, then the rate had gone up due to popularity and skill inset. Keep in mind though that the canvases that are painted on are also met with a frame to match suit in many cases.

That was all of a normal conventional artist which has some weight to basis of digital (with the skill, time, materials). Obviously it will be a lower pricing range, but I think you got this one right on the marks hun. Your stuff is worth every penny.

Yes, yes, and yes. It's especially irksome when somebody tries to squeeze a cheap work out of you when it's your main profession.
