ive had my commissions open for probably almost two years and I've still not gotten a single one- its a struggle out here, but this video was super insightful!!

[@Sunnystardust09]

In one part of the speedpaint, which is in the beginning when you're coloring in the eyelashes, you can expand a few pixels on the bucket if your app has one. That way, you don't have to color in those tiny little spaces the bucket missed. Hope this helps.

[@Q33Rwitch]

Can you explain in more detail?

[@Dalazyfox]

Great video! I personally won’t be opening commissions anytime soon because when I last opened them I got only a few clients that would stop responding to me when I tried to discuss the commission with them. It sure was weird and it’s not like my prices were crazy high or anything. I guess it was just bad luck. Anyway good luck everyone with your commissions!

[@FutureMint]

I want to start commissions but my dad would need to like have control over my venmo settings and all that bc I'm a minor. And my dad doesn't know I have like most of the social media I have. So unless venmo has like a DM feature ppl wouldn't be able to contact me lol

[@26magicman26]

Very informative, thanks ^^ do you still work a regular job, or are you able to cover your living expenses just doing commissions?

[@Pinkpostednotezz]

Thanks for the Advice! And every time i see your Persona I notice how amazing it is and I LVE The speedpaint in the background

[@LoraStormBelle]

when pricing, also make sure you are charging at least minimum wage! if it takes an hour to sketch, the sketch is worth at least 7.25 usd

[@pama-6987]

Isn’t minimum wage 15 per hour? Sorry I’m not American I might be wrong.

[@LoraStormBelle]

@@pama-6987 no worries, in some parts, yea. it ranges from state to state, but majority are at 7.25 unfortunately.

i know you made this video over 9 months ago but if you're reading this, thank you for making this video, i wanna start opening commisions and i'm in a veeeery young age ;-; (i'm 12) this helped me, thank you!! :*

[@ConiferConnieTreeCow]

pretty good advice! i've thought about opening commissions but i don't think i have the discipline and motivation to keep on top of it even if people paid me. i commend those who can

[@TaleKeep]

thanks for the vid, very informative, im new to digital art and have been trying to find how commission stuff work and this has helped a lot.

[@9.xian.]

I have a question do i need to put my watermark/signure on my art that im making for the customer? And can i or can i not post it on my social media account as example??

[@toe-by1fy]

Yeah for both‼️sometimes even if not often people can steal art, and if you wanna be careful about posting just ask the client. It's technically your art either way

[@StoryTeller796]

Whenever I hear the word "maggot" I think about TF2 Soldier.

[@danidinizcireno3560]

Anyone knows what is a good size or a good pratice that will help with quality when sending/finishing an artwork? Bigger Canva size? Running the art through something before sending it?

[@Starxourse]

[@cee.cillia]

I have a question, when you send the comission to the comissioner do you just send it in an e-mail and what type of file is it then?

[@rottika]

Yes, I send it in an e-mail and it’s a PNG file so that the buyer gets it in the best quality. :]

[@cee.cillia]

[@diahoney_]

ain't no way you just asked that...

[@lemonzzset_6691]

quick question, when sending a sketch or finished art piece, you send it with your "watermark" or without it? it really bothers me cuz idk if it’s appropriate to sign it cuz the person pays for it ^_^

[@rottika]

I usually always send my work to the commissioner with a watermark. Though, I don’t if they ask me to remove it, or if they’re going to use the artwork for commercial purposes.

[@lemonzzset_6691]

@@rottika ohhh okay, thank u sm!!! :33
