Anyone do commissions? I tried before but I usually just go ghost when I have to do art as a "job" I left a few people in the dust. I didn't take any money though. But now that I'm back at it someone has asked me to draw something for them. And I explained my history with commissions but they don't care they believe in me and still want the piece done. Its been a week and I haven't started 🙃

I guess I should get on it then. Thats my goal. I just wasn't sure how much money is really in it

all depends on your network and talent level. That determines a lot. Plus how actively you post up your artwork. People like to see artists busy or always working on something. It shows commitment and drive.

you are a master bro, i dont know why i thought that was acrylic maybe its hate. lol.

keep going you are exceptionally talented :salute:
Preciate it. Also thats not hate...that was a positive critique.

Sometimes depending on the skill and tech you can make media look like other media.

I.E. Acrylics are known to mimic oils.

Soft Pastels are my fav drawing media. Paul Goodnight put me on em.

They work is nice but my bulk work moves away from realism. I do realism every now again to keep my skills sharp. But I do like the abstraction of Blackwell his art reminds of Goya. The darkness of it in color not tone.

I have a regular IG with 4000 followers and people usually pay attention when I post. But since making an art page I only have like 88 followers. Its kind of frustrating. I keep wondering if I should just post my art on my regular page like I used to. I always used to get people asking me to draw shyt for them when I posted on my main page. Im extremely active
