More than likely, when people go to art shops like this, they already know what they want which means they don't have to think it through. And if you have people that want avatar art, it's nothing to think through, and if people want their OC's done, then usually they've already had that particular character drawn before so they know exactly what to post.
I had a shop, but I didn't feel I was good enough to continue with it. I still need a lot of practice, mainly with my anatomy and such. I got the head, hair and 3/4 view down, but it's everything else from the shoulders down I really suck at. D:
I've been thinking of taking drawing classes, because I heard it helps a great deal... I'll have to look into pricing, though. ^-^
If you ever feel like it, I'll be happy to look at your pictures and give you some pointers. well i'm no pro at drawing eather (though I would like to be one day XD) but I really love to help all those I can!

Speaking of help, there's two sites I visit often- it's
Human anatomy for the artist Many people, all nude in various shapes and sizes. really good for some home-croqui!
Inmagine- stock photos thousinds of people and buildings and whatnot photographed by professionals.

A good exercise is to draw from one of these sites or both one time at a day. My improving really went up by doing that!
When you get out of that same old rim.(This is what i'm good at, so I'll continue doing that) you'll improve on other areas as well. I used to do that ALOT, but when I began challenging myself everything, over some time where everything looked like, well shi...t, improved...
This artshop is also so I can draw things I would never think about myself. ( I just did a man with green hair. I never did that before

Wow long, hope i didn't bore you XD
