I didn't really see you account for time in there and time is, most certainly, money. That being said, I don't think you're actually ready for commissions. It would probably be more effective to do requests and then work at a grocery store.

One should not really do commissions when they are learning the basics of an art unless they are asked.

In fact I've met several artists on DA who did not take commissions until they were asked by someone in comments and these were artists that were in their third or forth year at an art college.

Unfortunately I can't offer much in the way of tips for improving since I do not know that medium very well.

Also your avatar creeps me out a little.

I always see you giving critiques on art threads and such, sometimes I agree with you, sometimes I don't and I would like to know if you're an artist yourself and if you could show me some of your work, because you look like you seem to know of what are you talking about.

I would consider myself an artist, but most of my training has been in the traditional format and there is always a problem with getting traditional art to transfer to a digital medium and look the same.

here is my deviant art, but I don't really post all the things I do. I have a lot of unfinished things and quite a few sketches... some of which are ALSO not finished lol.

I would be going to some fancy art school right now if art was as lucrative as computer science. Since it's not, I have to settle for a minor in drawing and illustration. *shrug* maybe I'll go to art college after. Not sure really, college is expensive so it would have to be with the help of a scholarship(s)

I've always been considered someone with a lot of natural talent in art. Not in that I'm good, but rather I pick up and understand techniques quickly. Unfortunately I've never had the one thing that makes an artist great, passion. I weirdly improve drastically with a few unfinished sketches per several months so I could only imagine what I would be if I did it daily like a lot of artists I enjoy.

Aside from that, I've taken two or three art classes at colleges outside of high school, nothing special compared to a lot of people I know. I tend to enjoy looking at art more than I like making them.

For me, time is something I have plenty of.

As for learning basics, I've already got those down, as well as a sort of technique, which I'm honing.

The avater is designed for just such creepines. :3
