Could I sell pictures like this?

[Teizar]

Hello artists of Gaia!

I've been working on simple watercolor pictures recently for lineart and painting practice. They take me about 20-30 minutes (I'm a slow worker sweatdrop )...and I'm interested in trying to sell commissions or prints. Here are some examples:


(sorry the quality is so poor, I took pictures of these instead of scanning them in)



What do you guys think of the quality? What should I do differently if they aren't something you would ever consider buying? And in general, what do you think about the pictures themselves?

Very cartoon - like. Cute. Something that I'd expect to see in a coloring book.

Haha thank you, do you think they're too childish though?

Not in a bad way. Actually, I can imagine those becoming birthday cards. Just keep on working. emotion_c8

Cute ! You could probably sell them if you took commissions. People tend to buy avatar art the most so maybe you could practice a few of those ? Just an idea emotion_c8

I think they're very sweet, and you could probably find a market for them, especially if you make custom greeting cards or such. If you keep practicing I'm sure you could get into illustration for childrens' books. 3nodding

I would like to see them in avatar art. I wouldn't pay real-money for them, and the type of paper you use is distracting. But I understand that may just be because of your medium.
Keep practicing, and keep us posted.

I'd definitely pay for one :3

That type of paper is actual water color paper and it's best to use while drawing in watercolor.

Yes, I know, that why I tried to acknowledge that. But I remember a few years ago in on eof my art classes, they had a much "whiter" looking paper that I used for watercolor a few times.
Also, have you looked into watercolor pencils? Those are pretty cool.
EDIT: You're not the artist...

You could look into doing children's book illustrations you would fit well there.
I think they may sell, but you would definitely need better scans of them.

I was thinking of opening a free shop on Gaia just to practice drawing avatars in that style for other people redface

I am really excited about people saying that!! Being able to illustrate for children's books would be...beyond words...I can't even describe how cool I think that would be! It makes me want to practice more haha, thank you for your kind words! heart
