YAY, and Question to Anybody...

Tue May 26, 2009, 9:43 AM
  • Mood: Amused
  • Listening to: rain and a redwing blackbird outside
  • Reading: A Beautiful Mind
  • Watching: blossoms gather in a puddle in the parking lot
  • Playing: yay school yay school
  • Eating: ...hungreee @o@
  • Drinking: Coffee @uo
So as of tomorrow morning at nine o' clock I will be officially sitting in on my first class at my new school, UMBC! XD I'm such a tard, I was all excited this morning when I drove over there to get my parking permit (YAY) and my books for the classes I'm taking this summer (WEE). I have to strangely admit that I'm glad one of the classes is a math class... I'd feel weird without it.

I also stumbled across an AWESOME little print place right next to the school bookstore... For very cheap, starving-student-artist prices, you can have them print your work exactly how you want it, they even bind books and make business cards.. I drooled over their little pamphlet for a while as I waited for the rain to stop so I could get back to my car. I might not be an art student anymore but who says I can't still utilize some of the school's artsy fartsy resources? XD :w00t: And I mean to. >:F

I'm also considering starting to take commissions for things... Cash has been tight but my drawing arm has been anything but. And somehow, with the practicing I've been doing lately, and the experimenting, I feel like I've gotten better. I haven't been posting at dA a great deal, but I'll finish some things up soon and change that. In the meantime, here is my question: Does anybody know a good resource, journal, or other link that talks about commissions and pricing and so on? (And in that same line of questioning, am I wasting my time looking?)

UMBC?! Dude XD I go to CCBC XDDD That's like down the street-ish XD

We make fun of it there though, just the letters. (You Must Be Chinese, etc)

As for commissions you should price them based off how much work you put into it plus the time it takes you draw. I don't do Commissions here but I do 'em for my friends and that's how I charge people.

XD We (my buddies at CCBC) came up with a lot of names but I can't remember any of them XD

From what I've seen many artists tend to charge around $50 for a full body color pic, which I think is nuts, but that's the max I've seen. The least I've seen was $2-3 for a color chibi or a bust sketch.

Perhaps we need to have dreams so wild they make us think we can't achieve them, but inspiring enough to make us try...
