help me start commission art

[karmic flax]

hi… so I wanted to open sum commission art but tbh i’m scared of it, cuz yall idea or references could be as random as maybe I wouldn’t think off, and yes i’ve done some drawing or painting for my personal project like creating oc or doin fan art, tbh I haven’t found my art style yet but for current time I like my art on paintery yet loose style, u could see the brushstroke, not over rendered or detailed that much and it had effortlessly making vibe to it, this the example of my recent work that i’ve done and also, could u help me for the pricing, or maybe u guys could share some interesting story or tips about how u start making some commission art?

hey! just open comms for what youre comfortable with (e.g. only doing headshots if u cant do bodies). how long are you taking on these pieces? would u consider them fully finished?

[fringe river]

your art is really cool at first i thought the fourth one is a photo haha

hii, thanks for the reply, I think i’m fine with doing body but surely it takes more time than just doin head and for the time it depends on the complexity of the drawing itself usually it takes like 2-4 hours but tbh it’s random, I dont think about time when it comes to drawing I just decided whether should I move on or change anything on it, if it’s an interesting piece I could spend like 10 hrs + and yes I consider that as fully finished

[fringe river]
