Apologies if this seems like shameless self-publication, bit I genuinely am after advice here! If it's inappropriate I will delete.
I discovered during lockdown I had a slight talent for drawing and found it an incredibly relaxing pastime. However I've started to get quite a few enquiries about commissions now, which I find incredible and very flattering but also a bit stressful as I really have no idea what to ask for and I don't want to take the pee.
It would never be more than a hobby for me as I realise I'm not professional level, and the drawings take me 20-30hours minimum...
So your can get an idea here's my most recently finished piece: https://www.instagram.com/p/CWbNHSjo_vX/?utm_medium=copy_link
If anyone has any experience and doesn't mind sharing with me it would be very much appreciated, and even if you don't feel free to give me an idea of what you'd expect to pay for a commission. Thanks! |  | | |  |

That's very good!
My cousin discovered he had a similar talent years ago and I helped him set up his store and socials. My biggest piece of advice I suppose is to upsell services like adding fixatives and frames to your pieces.
Stokie's better half sells similar pictures of the local area at art fairs, I believe. He would probably be better placed to talk pricing.
Btw, my cousin's career didn't last so long... he became a tattooist instead, so maybe something else for you to consider!
Good luck :) |  |

Certainly is! He's raking it in with his studio in Nodge. People seem to really love the photo realism style he does.
Although why anyone would get a tatt of a baboon is still beyond me. But to each their own :) | |

That's very kind of you to say so, thank you.
If anyone wants an intricate tattoo of medieval architecture done then I'm your man! | | | |
