Am I charging too low?
I am afraid I am. I'm Planning to change chargings for my commissions (but keeping the same services) but I'm having hard times in deciding what to do...
Hi, guys! Hope you're doing good!
So, yep, as I said above, I need your help to make some good prices, good for both me and clients... but I don't have any ideas about how much I should raise them up...
I've been told (more than once) that those are too low (that I'm "starving"), but nobody actually ever cared to lend me a hand on that. I'd like to be as competitive as other people, because if we keep going down with prices then we'd be too exploited and none of us would get out any good from it.
How much would you be willing to pay for a drawing? Or, better question, as an experienced artist, how much would you value your drawings, money speaking?
These are my charges (you can find here x):
Sketchy Colored Doodle:
- Portraits!
- Portrait of two characters and a forniture (from head to chest/legs):
from 10 to 20€ / 13 to 25 $ (starting price)- Portrait of characters in a messy background (blurrish):
from 20€ to 30€ / 25 to 40$ (starting price)
Concept Artworks:
- Classic Full Body drawing (colored):
from 20 to 30€/ 27 to 41$ *added character + 15€/ 20$*
Illustration kind of art:
- Single full body character in detailed background:from 40 to 50€/ 54 to 70$ *added character charges higher*
Do you think I'm charging too low, too? Which option is the unfair one? All of them?
If you can, drop an USEFUL comment (please).
Thank you for your help and have a nice day!

Hey, guess what? Commissions!
Yo guys!
How are you doing? Well, I hope!
Yeah, I'm back for it... for da money! lol
I'm opening commissions againnn (x infinite) and the game is the same!
these won't be done immediately... but in case you think I might have forgotten about it, just drop me a mail after one/two weeks of silence!
How do I work:
Basically, there are three WIP phases in which I’ll be sending you the drawing (right after the payment):
Sketch phase (the beginning, I’ll show you colored rough lines of the work, edits are free ).Lineart phase (middle phase, each edit has a cost but minor edits won't be counted ).Coloring phase (final phase,
Opening digital Commissions (again?!)
Hello guys!
It's been a long time since I came along..! Hope you're doing alright!
Yes, you read it right.
I'm opening these again on dA, but this time will be different:
I won't rush on it and I'll take my time!
So, yes, somehow it means commissions will be always open but I won't work on these constantly, If I have more important stuff to do, (school related) I'll do these and continue your commission later (unless your commission is for a special celebration, be sure to specify it in the mail!!) It wasn't like that before, I was scared of delays and taking too much time, it's not really a nice feeling so I've decided to change the

WAAAAY too low, your art is absolutely incredible and I imagine it takes a lot of time to make work with such detail. I think you should definitely raise your prices.
A good way to figure out how much you should charge is to consider how long it takes you to make a certain type of art and then figure out how much you're being paid per hour, if it takes you 11 hours to finish a $70 piece that's only like $6 per hour which is very very low.
