How much is my art worth? Also, I'm taking commissions :)

[Amoraeda]

Hello~ I was wondering if anyone could help me set a price on my art; I'm opening commissions and I don't quite know how to price them! I've done one commission in the past on deviantart (linked below. It's the one titled Red), and I was told by a lot of people that I should've charged a lot more than what I was offered ( roughly $13 USD). I'm currently doing Portrait and Bust commissions.

Also, I would appreciate any critiques/helpful tips, so that I may continue to approve!


Here are some examples of my art (in order from most to least recent):

Thanks for taking the time to look over everything ^^ Please comment & have a nice day!



BTW, if anyone is interested in commissions, please email me at [e-mail] OR send me a note on deviantart smile Of course, you could always PM me on Gaia, but since I'm still new to all of this, I can't guarantee I'll respond quickly haha.

You could easily charge for $20 for a basic coloured headshot, so $25 maybe even more for your "Red" portrait type shot. I'd say about $40 for a fullbody with/without background would be well worth it.

But then again I'm really bad at prices... All i know is that you DEFINITELY could have charged more that $13 for that portrait ^^

Also, *watch'd*.
