If you can hang a poster with at least one or two samples, and some rip-off pieces of paper with your name and numbers on at your local store or something.
An add in the paper could help if thats not to expensive.
Or you could tell your friends and they could help spread the word.
Hope some of my ideas were helpful to you (Was that the kind of suggestions you were looking for?)

I'm not sure how you'd get local commissions, I know there's very few people around me who'd want my kind of art much less want to pay me for it.
Its not too hard to get commissions online for money, if that's what you're looking for. I looked around at a lot of artists' rates, from amateaur to pro, and just tried to gauge where I fell in there and how much people of a similar level to me were charging on average and went from there.
I made a post with samples of various media and priced each. Though I tend to get into too much detail and I work a lot of different ways sweatdrop It seems easier for people who just do digital coloring or something. I do pencil, pen, watercolor pencil, prismacolor pencil, photoshop, and mix and match...
I think its also good to offer lower priced options and full options- like sketches and lineart or flat color vs something with detailed color. Tiers are good. But for just getting the word out pick a couple of your best pieces and a couple sketches or something too for variety and put a banner or something together.
