Minimum income wage in my country is like 10$ per day which 300$ per month
Comment from : @9tnb

Im currently painting shoes for myself and I had a couple of people asking me if I do commissions and so far I said no just cause its my first time painting shoes and I just want to test it out( wearing it etc) I know if I start taking commissions, the person who commissioned me would buy the shoes they want done That way they pick what shoe they want and to guarantee it fits I know it would be way over 100 for something like this I’ll have to do more reacher on something like that

Can't wait to watch this video to figure out a good price to set for the artist im commissioning from 💀💀
Comment from : @makakachaput

What do you consider a beginner artist? $25 feels like a lot for what I consider beginner artists

Comment from : @Neno-zb1ci

ok so i have been drawing my entire life, been drawing dragons for 5 years, been doing digital art for 2 years, I am a pretty advanced artist, and my commissions (for a full body dragon/human) is $25 is that too much for too little? PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME
Comment from : @t0ffeeb3an

undercharging not only hurts the artists, but also other artists, because the bar is put so low that others can't compete
Comment from : @potnoned

Damn, minimum wage in my country is like 3$ per hour
Comment from : @TalesofBaco

Ma'am 😭🤌🏻brI have been an artist for about 6 years now brI love drawing hyper realistic portraits, they are super detailed, such a hardworkbrTHEY TAKE ME ABOUT 45 HOURS OF PURE WORK TO FINISH 😭😂brI can't possibly make it 450$ for a digital art workbrLiterally no one will order 😭
Comment from : @malakmoustafa7707

If you are latin american and your'e watching this: this is not the samebrin latin america they will think that you are over charging for "Just a drawing" because people will always want to go with the cheaper option or think that you're art is not worth what you say it is, so set different prices for latin american countries
Comment from : @CCDibujos

You sounded like darwin at the last part brbrBut I'm really glad i found your video, i want to start doing art commissions simply because i love art brbrAnd for my question, how many different kinds of art styles are there?
Comment from : @maskedYoutube7551

but if I live in Europe and want to take commissions from anyone, should I write on my commission page the prices in euros, or in dollars?
Comment from : @maddalenamatteo4578

Im going to charge pretty cheap because im mainly just doing these for fun and most money im just going to use to buy things i want, since i still live with my parents and have a part time job
Comment from : @TheSleepyWarlord

What's the reason to email digital artwork as opposed to sending it over discord?
Comment from : @kwingle

But how do you determine the exact number when factoring in skill level?
Comment from : @frankkennedy6388

I'm a slow artist, so I'd feel bad charging minimum wage per hour for my art, especially since I'm not a professionally trained artist maybe I'll divide it by two, or four haha
Comment from : @hyleore

Sooooo pretty ✨
Comment from : @collegemaster5683

$20 to $25 per hour! Damn! I have been taking that much for a whole day's work I didn't realise how under-priced I was Yet, people still ask me for discounts
Comment from : @NekoSamaIru

300 for that example?? i did something similar a few months back for like 15
Comment from : @TheRatWhoLived

I want to do art commissions so much, I even tried spreading awareness for it, but like many other attempts I've done, it's gone unnoticed by people just seeing the example art (mind you at least 12 years of art experience so I say my art skills are at least a high medium) and just saying good job, and for family just saying I love you, and it just reminded me of the time when I tried to put it out there I was selling sewn up dolls because it was another one of my art forms and it went unnoticed and nobody bothered with it, so it just makes me scared to do anything with my art
Comment from : @Mystical_Kit

IF I ever did commotions, my prices would be (cost of supplies - including shipping for physical art) required up front plus ($X per hour of work)
Comment from : @emeraldqueen1994

I'd definitely be interested on a "selling art for commercial use" version of this
Comment from : @axelerwan7281

How do you export the files when doing art commissions with medibang? brI've been thinking about the possibility of considering taking commissions for a little while, but I only have medibang paint🙃brI know people do art commissions with medibang, but I'm not sure what file types to use to send the client Most of what little information I can find on this is to "export it as a PDF" but, as far as I'm aware, medibang does not have that option I would like it if clients were able to printout the artpieces, if they so desired, since I don't currently have the resources, but I can't find much straight-forward non-conflicting information on this subject What file type do you send to the clients? Please give me info! 😭😭
Comment from : @MaddieAnonymous

Dumb question: how do taxes play into this? I want to start commissions, but I have this (potentially irrational) fear/worry I'm gonna end up in trouble I never really see anyone talk about those things, and if they do they explain it in a way I can't wrap my head aroundbrbrI'm in the states if that matters at all
Comment from : @A_R_B

i have questions that may be answerable by google but i want the answer from someone who've had experience with paypal 😭😅brbr1 can you use paypal without using your real name?br2 how does currency difference work on paypal? what if i take a commission and they pay in USD but i have a different currency 😮brbrany answer would be appreciated 😁😁🙏
Comment from : @berugitv3562

I would love to learn how to charge for commercial use of my art and designs! I’ve had that asked of me at one point and totally blanked on it, so I would love to learn more so I have a better response in the future!
Comment from : @iconicanemone9544

whats your experience shipping art within canada and internationally? i've had a hell of a time with how expensive it is, do you have any advise?
Comment from : @wilderulz

Art den isnt available in canada i am going to CRY 😭
Comment from : @sarahcorreia485

i have a question!! 😂 :brbr- If i've never worked as an artist but have had post secondary art education, would it still make me legit?
Comment from : @botaktatasumo

I really like doing commissioner for out of country dollars brbrbrbrbrb20 dollars is ALOT in my place lol/b
Comment from : @AndiZ-j3c

The best way to price art commissions is not to do them at all :DbrbrStickers and adoptables are much better overall
Comment from : @klutzmtg2310

I've seen this a lot, but why charge less for a second character? It's a little confusing why you'd charge less when you'll be doing the same amount of work
Comment from : @jerzuma

Why not send it over Discord?
Comment from : @StruggaBugga

You may already have a video on this, but I'm asking the question here because I'm not sure how you would phrase the topic How do you describe what kind of image you want an artist to create without creating it yourself, therefore defeating the purpose of commissioning the artist? You would want to avoid the scenario in which an artist spends several hours creating an image just to find it's far from what the commissioner wants/needs
Comment from : @773Spair

This video was great! I’m slowly getting into doing commissions so this came at the right time for me :) I have a question: For something like character cards for books, that get printed and sold by the publisher of the author (who would be the one to commission me) for a longer period of time, should I charge a commercial fee? And how would you calculate that? Especially when you don’t know how often it’s actually getting printed and sold beforehand
Comment from : @louenry

Literally no one on ArtDen The commission advice is nice though ^_^
Comment from : @Omegawerewolfx

Thank you for making video! It was very helpful and clearbrbrAlso, I’d be interested in learning about the royalty pricing process as well
Comment from : @SnowFox-gv2rn

very helpful
Comment from : @HugoYogurt

Thank you for the video - very helpful! New to this channel, but another topic I’m curious about are the rules of fan art? Perhaps there aren’t any, but wondering if permission needs to be granted to draw existing IP characters and selling those Thanks!
Comment from : @MattGoesSplat

Would my drawing speed affect cost? Like rn i draw pretty slow and i dont wanna charge a lot based on my own inadequacy
Comment from : @xxtechnocatxx916

What is the difference between royalty pricing and personal comission pricing?
Comment from : @tsukiraaquarius8746

I've been thinking about doing commissions later this year when I have a consistent style and I'm a bit more advanced, so this was really helpful! Also Jessie, you're absolutely gorgeous 😱♥️
Comment from : @Funky_Freshness

I really do appreciate the topic, but at the speed I work, coupled with the quality of my art, I could not charge based on minimum wage I would be outcompeted drastically by artists who are far better and more efficient than myself
Comment from : @Hyginx

Question: If I ask for a commission and I use it for a game I'm working on, do I have to pay the artist extra based on my profit?
