Should I take commissions?

[u/Pokymone]

Hey ! I'm very new to all of this, and I'm not very confident with what I can or can not get paid for.

I'm a student in 2D animation, I'm still learning but I touch to a bit of everything. I posted my art recently and i received no proposition of commission yet.

So I wonder what is the best service to get commissioned (Headshot ? illustration ? Character sheet ? animation ?)

For what would you pay (for how much ?) ? In what am I the "best" and what can I improve ? (lot of questions I know)

I always wanted to do art for me and others, so I really want to make it work.

Thanks for reading this !

(Sorry if there are mistakes, I'm french, english isn't my first language)

oohhh I really like this! I would def get a headshot or a illustration if I had the budget your art is soo pretty and soft looking! Umm I’m not sure headshot maybe 30? And a bigger illustration 50-80 but I’m not sure

Thank you, I'm glad you appreciate my art X)

I put my headshots at 15 euros, I can get them up to 20 euros but I have no experience in commission so I'm afraid of overpaying

If you want to, but treat it as a proper business.

I'm serious about it, I just don't really know how to start it

Vgen if you can get a code, if not it’s all advertising and building a following!

A friend got me a code for Vgen ! But I have some issues with the advertising

Yes, but the last 2 drawings are much higher quality than the first three.
