Hi guys! I hope this will help with the doubt on how to price your work and how much you can be making as an illustrator! let me know if this is useful
Thank you so much Asia it was really helpful. I'm really enjoying the length of your videos. They're to the point and full of fantastic information that helps the illustration/artist community a lot. keep it up. thanks again
Hi there, I can also recommend a book: "Pricing & Ethical Guidelines" by the Graphic Artists Guild. It is revised every year I think. I had not thought of even looking for an online rate calculator!
Thank you for sharing these resources! I agree this isn’t something talked about and can be confusing for many artists. Have you thought about making a video about writing up contracts or business proposals for clients?
Hi 👋 thank tu so much for watching I’m glad that it helped :) we need to share more about pricing :) and for contracts and business I have two planned for Patreon 🤗
When you get a notification of a video like this first thing in the morning means the day is going to be a good one ☺️, thank you for sharing!! Extremely useful 🙏🏼
Hi Danii! thank you so much as always! we talked a lot about this you and I, and I know how important is to compare and share experiences, it can make a difference and help the Illustration industry
Just discovered you. This will help me so much! Thank you! I've been struggeling with pricing my illustration work and i am really missing the transparency in the illustration community. It's so hard starting out and not knowing how to price your work right.
Thanks, Asia. This is very informative. I hope you'll be showing more videos of your beautiful art and day in the life in the future videos. :) Stay healthy!
I just discovered your RU-vid channel and I'm just popping here to say that I really love it! Awesome content, just like the one in this video! Super useful, helpful and amazingly done! Can't wait to watch all of them these days :P
Hello Asia! Amazing video as always! Very helpful and tons of beautiful insights. I have a few questions (or maybe video ideas?) if that's okay :) 1. As someone who's starting out in the illustration industry, when should I start charging for my work? (A bit of background, I'm still very new to the industry, still working on my portfolio, etc., when would be a good time for me to say to myself, "Alright, NOW, I can start selling prints/offering commissions!" Should I polish myself for a year before I start offering work? I hope my explanation makes sense) 2. What are your thoughts about applying to agencies or having an agent? Pros and cons? Thank you very much! :)
Hi Carisha thank you so so much! for the agent I remember I talked a bit in my last Q&A, but I think it depends really on the artists, is too subjective. For the first one, I believe every artist should charge for their work always but in regards to the time, this is when you are comfortable with your art. I have a few videos around this kind of subject planned for my patron, and also here :)
Hi Asia! Enjoyed the video! could you tell me if there would be sites similar to those you mentioned, but not for illustrator artists, but for writers? Thanks!
Hey, I am a beginner and I had done some basic illustration in past. I got a client and I am confused how much to charge please suggest me a figure to get an idea 😳
It will all depend on what you want to do, so I cannot recommend something specific, just surf the web for something that fits what you are looking for 😊
