![]() While the approachability of art is steadily increasing, its often really easy to overlook your own artistic value, especially when you’re often surrounded by people you might interpret as superior to you. With all these artists, and all these options, is your work worth anything? Almost equally so if you are someone looking to get art for yourself. That sounds pretty intimidating if you’re an artist who wants to do commission work. While activity on deviantart might have slowed, the options for art, people to follow, and outlets to view the art have all increased.

In response to these, I’ve decided to create a journal designed to help you (yes you, reader) understand that your work has value and how you should price your work as a result.

We often see people with very low prices being taken advantage of by commissioners who want to obtain amazing art for pennies on the dollar without notifying the artist that maybe their prices are too low. Recently, I’ve read a few disappointing posts on how some people devalue either themselves or others’ art purely because it is posted online either as digital or traditional. I get asked frequently ‘how do you price your art?’ “How do I evaluate how much I should charge for commissions?” etc.
