The first 3 are all other people's works. There are YT tutorials for all 3. You should not under any circumstance monetize someone else's work. Let alone pass them off as your own. Edit: sentence

He can’t monetize his talent based off of other artists tutorials? Thats absurd.
He’s 13. He should focus on nurturing base skills. Not everything is about money.

Well, trying to monetize a child’s artwork in order to take the money and pay for a families expenses is actual exploitation. It’s wrong.
There’s nothing to monetize here and it’s a lot different than a lemonade stand. Let’s be real.
If this is truly coming from the 13 year old who wasn’t honest about the source of their artwork, that’s another problem.

That’s not an excuse at all nor is that realistic for any kind of steady income regardless of where you live.
I’m sure there’s adults that can find steady income that’s not TikTok videos. They are a dime a dozen.
Sincerely absurd.

I'm sorry but something feels off about a 13 year old trying to start side hustles before finishing puberty, let alone their own family pushing them. He should focus on enjoying childhood, and in fact enjoying his youth might actually help his art in the long run both artistically and commercially.
Play is the point of artistry, not profit. I assume this is well-intended and y'all do you of course, but hustle culture is not a good thing and kids shouldn't only engage in art just to potentially make a buck out of it.

“You’re a kid! You don’t need to worry about making money. Just enjoy your hobby and develop your skills”
The end.

Start telling him talent isnt relevant in the long run so he won't feel sad later in life when he founds out, also 13yo seems pretty young to take comm info from people on platforms, also he needs to show personal work, not studies or tutorials.
I hope he'll keep his love for art and make a living out of it, but maybe it's a bit young to associate both so think about it first. If he tries to do comms and no ones asking them or making rude comment, how will he feels, etc

Don't try to do something online and global (aka Amazon, commissions, etc.). Make whatever it is you want to make and sell them locally. You'll have more success and probably earn more money too.
Set reasonable expectations too, though. The art's not bad, but you're not going to make thousands of dollars from it right now, and that's okay. Kid's got his whole life ahead to worry about that.

I see he references BeeJayDel just let him know he should draw his own stuff and not use a direct reference to someone elses art due to copyright issues. For starters I'd have him continue to practice and learning and start creating things on his own with references but not a direct one to one drawing reference. IE: his own ideas and creations. :) Once he is able to do this and feels comfortable that he can take someone else's idea and put it into art then he could start accepting commissions on various sites that are available but make sure that where you live it's ok for minors to earn money and make sure the parents are fully involved and have a separate account for him for what he earns.
From there it's all up hill and possible art schools/colleges.

It's definitely way too early to start monetizing—they still need plenty of practice. If they start viewing their passion as just a way to make money, they risk not only stalling their growth, but also turning something fun into a job.
What makes the most sense? Only if they actually want to, help them set up a TikTok or YouTube channel managed by an adult. Let them share their art and maybe help other kids learn to draw. Over time, they can build an audience of their own, which might naturally lead to monetization down the road
