So, I was debating on drawing and charging comission for anyone that wanted one. Since I am not very great at art I'll probably charge like three dollars for a picture like this -I posted this on my tumblr, pinterest, and devianart as well.- So again I will probably start with $3 since I am not that great at digital art yet.

How long does it take you to do a sketch like this? Because you should try to give yourself at least $15/hr to start with. :) It looks really good.

Not..that good? Your art is AS good as some of the artists that would charge 15/20 for a pic like that.

It took me about an hour because I was debating colors and just generally doing whatever came to mind, but thank you :)

Your art is very pretty! Don't be afraid to charge more. In my experience, it's worth it to find a price for your art that motivates you to do a good job and improve.

Yes, I agree, but I also understand that there are a lot of people who could want art but they just don't have the money to blow on it, ya know?
Thanks :)

Please raise your prices! Your time and art are worth waaaaay more than that! My rule of thumb is to make sure you're at least getting minimum wage per hour (and not waitressing min!). You do very beautiful work, and I would love to commission you in the future when I have the disposable income to pay what you're worth.
Where were the other art sources you mentioned so that we can check em out? :)

That is so kind of you!! I do a lot of similar things with crafting outside of the internet and it's nice to see the sentiment being shared by others. :) Charge however much makes you happy. Just be careful you don't burn yourself out, don't forget to set limits on the # of commissions and take breaks between them. Self care is very important too!

^^^^^^^^^ All of this. Yes.
I will definitely pay you more than $3.
