How do you determine the price of your art? Ive sold my art at a high price($20-50 for traditional paintings) depending on what it was when I was in high school but since graduating &being in college I havent been able to do commissions. I plan to just start over on my twitter/tumblr for commissions but Idk how I should price my digital work. My range was $5-15 for headshots, simple details$15-25, for complex work$25&up. Sry for the long message &if you’ve answered this! Thank you for your time!
Gosh, I’ve honestly been really indecisive about prices since the very beginning. But these days, I strive to make minimum wage off each drawing. If I get it done quicker, obviously I’m excited, and I’ve made a little more, but as a safety net, this seems like a good rule to follow.It doesn’t always work out, but it’s a good starting point.I know that is really difficult to do if you haven’t polished your technical skills enough, or you don’t have much of an audience yet, which is why I had started out by taking flat icons at $8 an hour!But I don’t recommend that!! It’s really bad, and no no no.
UMM.. I’d say though $5 is too little for any type of drawing. $15 for a head shot is alright, if you can finish it in an hour, you’re making $15 an hour! If you can finish it in 2 hours, then you’re making $7.50. So, just keep all of that in mind and make sure you can work in a timely fashion.
And I’d say gauge that with all your work. Ask yourself how long it takes you to do something. Time yourself while you’re drawing. Make sure you’re not underselling yourself. 
Also, my friend’s dad said if you’re opening up for work, and it starts filling up really quickly, that it’s a sign you should probably be raising your prices. 
Which I tend to agree with these days, because yeah-- you get less commissions once you raise your prices, and it’s a little disorienting. You know, like where’d everyone go?? But just for example sake, I’d rather get four commissions at $45, than seven commission at $25. You free up your schedule a bit more, which I’m sure you’ll need if you’re in college!
So, maybe that information is helpful too. If I can clarify anything, feel free to toss me another ask! I love discussing art and commission work!
