Should I do Commissions?

[Hyper Dive 10]

Okay. Im thinking of doing commissions. For Pony OCs. 3$ for a triditional non colored OC. 4$ for a tradintional drawing thats colored. And 5$ for a digitally colored traditional drawing. Meaning Ill draw it on paper, then color it on MS Paint. Im thinking of trying it to see how it works out. And Ill ask for the money AFTER the drawing is finished, that way if the customer doesnt like the drawing, then they dont have to pay. If yall want, I can post some pictures that Ive done. And I don’t do pony clothes. Or backgrounds. Yet. I will tell when Im able to. Ill practice on them. Nothing NSFW. Yet. And no super complicated poses. Yet. And itll maybe take a couple days to a week to do a drawing. Depends on what the customer wants.

 

Okay. To recap, thats 3$ for a traditionally drawn not colored. 4$ for a traditionally colored and drawn picture. And 5$ for a digitally colored traditional drawing.

 

Traditional means drawn with Pencil and Paper. So who thinks I should do it? If I get enough yes's I will make a paypal and a page on comissions. If anyone thinks my prices are too cheap, tell me. I didnt know where this would go since its not technically commissions. Yet.

well if you want to know, gives us an example of your work, that way it could be more easier to judge your skills and know if you can do commissions

Well my avvie is one of my works. And here are some more of my works. The one with Fluttershy was my first time doing a mare. *snickers* Sorry. My dirty mind kicked in. Anyways the first one was one I colored on MS Paint. The last one was my first ever pony drawing. Its my brothers OC Gameflash.

well, seeing at your samples I must say that you're not ready for commission, ...yet.

 

I acknowledge that you're drawings are good, yeah, you have this "something" that gets the charm of the ponies. Having said that, your work is highly rough and unpolished, the fact that you're not using white bond paper, is a mistake. The way you use the pencil is wrong, and it lowers the quality of your work.

And the digital work, well, is not bad, but use something better than paint, your customers deserve it. However, the prices you are mentioning are really low, and considerate.

 

I would say that you should first get better on drawing ponies and art techniques in general, then you can even raise your standards with the payment

yeah i'm gonna agree with Motion Spark on this, you drawings are good but not good enough, also i don't see to point of charging people for a pencil and paper drawing unless you sending it then though the mail.

i would recommend you do what i'm going to start doing and that's just take requests from people free of charge so you can keep improving and may be learn to vector the images too.
