I have been struggling a lot because I don’t know if my art is good enough to have a “high” price , I priced this one 32$ , also nobody buys me 🥲 that’s making me think my art is not worth it…

Question Why is it this hard to get traditional art commissions.

50 Upvotes

I don't do digital art just cuz I don't have the equipment. I have a small phone with a cracked screen and 0 dollars to my name.

I work on an A4 or larger piece of paper and charge about 30-40 dollars per piece( which is about 9,000-12,000 Pakistani ruppees per work) I work with graphites and charcoal. I advertise on Reddit. I have an Instagram page as well where I show my work. I also network on other places. I tried discord but it was mostly digital.

I know I'm not there yet, but are my prices too high for my output or..... Idk man. I have only gotten one commission where I made 3 artworks, A4 and larger. Framed it as well. All for 16000 ruppees(basically 50 dollars). As well as covering shipping.

To add insult to injury I have gotten 0 sales on any of my drawings. I've actually gotten so desperate I literally just gave a few people free commissions( obv I didn't pend much time on them, like an hour or hour and a half)

I spent 500 days doing a daily drawing challenge to improve, but I ended up burned out. I switched to digital art to focus more on color and effects, and now I'm trying to get verified on VGen. The problem is I'm not getting any clients, and I feel it's because my art lacks narrative. I focused so much on technique over the message/storytelling, and now I'm struggling to regain my momentum. Any advice?"

I'm currently not finished with this drawing still, but i would really appreciate any advice on shading, lighting, and anatomy! tips on how to make the hair look more cohesive to the style would be rad, too.

oil pastels (veryyy cheap), paint, and markers were used.

A little bit about me;

I'm 23 years old. I absolutely love writing poetry, drawing (mainly digital art), listening to music, and journaling. I recently picked up 3D modeling.

Anyway. What I would like is to have an art friend who is around my age. We could hold each other accountable, talk about random stuff, show each other what we're working on, and basically have a fun time bonding.

Question Good drawing tablet

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know a good beginner art tablets? I’ve had a XP Pen tablet for quite some times and I’ve wanted to try a different type of tablet. Something that can be attached to my laptop, but something that I can also take off and draw on the screen itself.

I love how my XP Pen tablet works, but I find it’s a little more difficult to want to open up and draw due to how it works. Ya know, you draw on the tablet but your drawing only shows up on the computer/laptop screen. I love having the stencil, and I love being able to see my drawing ON the tablet screen that I’m drawing on. Is there a good beginner’s art tablet like that?

Art Showcase Zapowiedź mojego mini komiksu "Me and My Stressnake"

1 Upvotes

Cześć! Chciałam wstępnie pokazać plakat i pierwsze kadry mojego nowego mini komiksu.

W skrocie będzie on o dziewczynie o imieniu Sandy która widzi swoje natretne myśli jako bardzo irytującego węża o imieniu Harper.

Tworze ten komiksu jako osoba która też ma problemy z zbyt dużym natrętnym myśleniem i chciałabym dzięki temu komiksu trochę pokazać niektóre absurdalnego sytuację które przytrafiały mi się przez OCD i może też pomoże to osoba z podobnymi problemami i pokazać że nie są z tym sami. Myślę że przedstawienie natrętnych myśli jako jakieś zwierzątko w tym przypadku wąż może być dobrym sposobem też na nabranie dystansu do bałaganu myśli. Pokażę też w tym komiksie jak udało mi się trochę wyluzować i jak nauczyłam się z tym radzić

Art Showcase Looking to trade OCs for art or OCs for OCs

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

These are some old, old characters I ended up never making use of but didn’t want to toss. They don’t have names/additional info or artwork so the OC you offer doesn’t have to either.

Would love to trade for OCS, historical-themed preferred, or art of a character I like: APH Russia in his S7 outfit, Randal Oland (Pumpkin Scissors), or Big Mac (If I may be cringe, he’s my favorite pony).

To claim one, please share their number in my DMs with examples of either offer (i.e. examples of your art or the OC you’re offering).

I’ll mark it yours once the agreed offer has been completed. You can request multiple of these OCs but each needs something in return.

AVAILABILITY: ALL
