How to take art commissions ( or how I personally do it) 

Before people complain about Artists pricing their commissions high amounts of money, just remember that Artists are human too, majority of them need the money to pay bills, buy food, etc. If you can't buy the artists' commissions, then it's fine, nobody is forcing you to.

"Art is a luxury not a necessity" ate.

Honestly my problem is mostly not knowing if I’m actually good enough to have people commission me lol

Usually I have the client pay half the price after I do the sketch(usually takes 2-5 minutes) with 3 free major changes(pose, clothes) and minor changes (hair, accessories ) I would just jot down and keep note of them in a checklist. But wow your prices are pretty high! Totally worth it cuz your art is beautiful ❤

Can confirm that people will save the money if they want to commission you - I have been saving up to commission my favourite artist since I was 12 years old!!

AAAA THIS IS SUCH GOOD TIMING!! I really want to start commissions to help out with my family but i literally have little to no idea how to do/take commissions so you posting this just SAVED me :'D

My friends have been telling me to do commissions for a while but I'm scared of getting scammed or people being displeased with my art. this helped with a lot of questions I had though

5 minutes in and i'm already feeling a lot better about posting commissions soon, I never knew how to post them. Do I break it up and offer lineart, flats, and fully rendered pieces? How do I price each individual part of the process? This video just told me I DON'T have to do that. I can have set prices, set "bases" (Busts, portraits, full body), etc. and then adjust prices where it's needed (extra characters, nsfw requests, details, etc.) So nice to see a concise video about this!! Thank you!!

Turning 18 soon I've been wanting to actually make real money with my art for so long and this video helped to boost my motivation towards that. Thanks Blue❤

I once did graphite pencil drawing commissions for my classmates in elementary school and I spent 3 hours each on those a got hand cramps for a week from them and I sold them for 5 bucks each

I can't wait to try to do art commissions... but I'm waiting to get better at drawing first cause I dont think my art is good enough yet to ask for money. I really hope I'll be able to do it one day ! I love your artstyle btw !! Its so pretty !

Just so you know, you can set a paypal business account and use your artist name instead of your IRL one but, based on where you live, you might have to file for taxes.

i personally use artistree to keep all my commissions in one place, and i use stripe for payments so i dont have to give out my name via paypal :)

I remember someone saying that you should have more confidence on your art and make sure that you're prices are not too low, because a lot of scams usually have their prices lower compared to the quality of their posts, so people tend to avoid commissioning low price artists.

i just want to say thank you. im a high skill artist for 3 years now, but i never were into commissions. now, after your tutorial, i started to feel motivated, and now, a big company commissioned me for their game! thanks to you, for brightening me up.💝

I wanted to start but It really made me realize just how inconsistent my art was. So! I’ve been drawing a bit more and becoming more and more consistant. Maybe I’ll get into it over the summer, as its something I really want to do, but I want to make those who commission me happy and satisfied with their purchase.

Your stutterting is the cutest thing ive heard in my life

thank you so much for this video, I wanted to start commission for a while but it felt so overwhelming bc I didn't know how to organize everything x) Now I have NO excuse :")

At first I thought they were a bit pricey but then I realize how much time and effort artists actually put into the art. Amazing video as always and thanks for sharing.

Blu is psychic confirmed!😂 I was literally thinking of opening art commissions and then you posted this tutorial right on time! Thanks, Blu!💙💖

Ill definitely come to this when Im ready. I havent even began to think of doing this yet just bc of how hard Ive been working on grinding my fundamentals.

Can we have a video or just a piece of advice on how to gain popularity in order to actually receive commissions? I have seen so many underrated artists with below 200 or even 100 followers on twitter or ig or deviantart but the art that they make is godly (and im not saying this to toot my horn here but this includes myself)

great video!!! so many7 good tips

This really helped ty!!

This is a great video!!

I am on the road to improving my art and currently doing a 30-day art challenge. I have been thinking of doing commissions. I already had 2 inquiries for commissions but was too afraid to respond to them because I dont really know where to beginand how to do it ( pricing and such). This video is very informative and already excited to start :D
