Traditional Art Pricing Help

[digital crater]

Hello! Does $35 or $40 sound like a good price for these? That is how I would usually charge, but I had a group of people say I was underpricing myself 👤. The cat was very rushed, but you get the idea. Both are canvas, 10 x 14, acrylic paint. Thoughts?

Depends how many hours did you spend on it?

may i critique the second piece?
also, sounds okay

[digital crater]

I haven't tracked specific hours, but usually this would take me a week to complete with 2-3 hours each session

[ruby tendon]

hmm 35 dollars for a week of work sounds a bit under

[digital crater]

Sure! It's not my best and I know some mistakes I did already, but I'm fine to hear what you think!

[ruby tendon]

are you planning to

make a living or just do this as a hobby

[digital crater]

I see that now, but I'm not sure how high to raise it. Charging high makes me feel bad but I don't want to undervalue myself

[ruby tendon]

because if for hobby i would rather just keep my work

[ruby tendon]

maybe try to see what other artists are pricing rn

[digital crater]

What do you mean? But anyways I hope to do this as a side job, so I'm not basing my whole income on this

I'll give a look!

okay ^^ whats most noticeable is the left eye position - it should be higher and maybe more to the left
the nose shade is a little too harsh, could blend in more
same with the cat to be honest, the left eye could be higher

great work though!

uu, then you should price higher - 80$?

The left painting was a struggle since I was combining two different photos. Thank you for your input! I hadn't seen that before you pointed it out
