[@AsiaOrlando]

Great Aya! I hope it helps to bring a bit of transparency where we can :)

[@AyaAymanArtJourney]

[@hs7071]

[@nicholastown2779]

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

[@autumnfesperman7971]

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!

[@AsiaOrlando]

Totally :) That's actually a great book 👍 I included in the video I made on 5 books every illustrators should read 😉

[@bluemingsounds2837]

It's revised every four to five years, actually.

[@mrs.quills7061]

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?

[@AsiaOrlando]

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 🤗

[@majesea]

Hi :) this will be part of my digital illustration tutorial series :) one of the next episodes

[@Manar80s]

you are so awesome may God bless you

[@cece6337]

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! :)

[@AsiaOrlando]

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 :)

[@AleTorrEs-ep3ze]

Gracias gracias gracias gracias gracias!!!!!!!

[@AsiaOrlando]

No hay de que Ale :)

[@axel9546]

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!

[@AsiaOrlando]

Hi 👋 thank you so much - to be honest there must be something out there, but I’m not familiar with it :(

[@puneetshakya3001]

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 😳

[@dogbums8548]

Love your mug! Where can I get one?

[@priyankabiswas3489]

Please show us the comic book interior pages Asia.

[@jacintabisnath4823]

What courses do you recommend to become an illustrator?

[@AsiaOrlando]

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 😊

[@muhammadsaeed3233]

Tbh its very rare video for those who illustrate. There re lot of video for art work not for the illustration.

[@prat_0501]

How to licence our work?

[@AsiaOrlando]

That’s for a full video 😊 I’m working on something
