I've recently decided to stop doing freebies after Brooke's (LadyLove) portrait. You guys have seen my work, so judging on the quality, how much should I be charging? (I was thinking around $15-25 a piece) I can spend anywhere from 1-6 hrs on a single piece, I'll be doing all my work on my iPad, using either sketchbook pro, art rage, and soon procreate. The rent rose so this would also babe some good added income on top of my job.

I already have people lined up so I need a rough estimate as soon as possible. Thank you!

How would someone (like me who doesn't live anywhere near you) pay for the portraits?

Possibly through paypal?

PayPal would be the only way, but I'm only doing local for now. Depending on the success of this "business", I'll start doing them worldwide.

I think somewhere around 18-30 would be reasonable depending on the type of drawing and whether or not you're printing it for them as well.

I was thinking around that price too, prints would obviously add to the prices so I wouldnt lose money! But I'm holding off on prints till I'm more successful

You could always do commission through deviant art! I used to make a couple of bucks back then heh :)
