i think the biggest motivator for people learning to draw is the outrageous prices for some art pieces. do NOT get me wrong i am 110% for artists profiting from their art and i understand the time and energy put into professional pieces...

but asking random tumblrinas to pay thousands of dollars on digital art of a woman standing in a field------------------ you aint gonna get any business, im sorry.

#idk #maybe it'd because my biological father was a very well known artist in this area due to the elaborate works he would sell for $50 #then hed use the money to buy alcohol and cigarettes.#if he was asking anything more than $50 #no one wouldve bought his shit #or maybe it's because of my shitty unt and uncle charging $50 for shittily and cheaply made wood boxes--#and how they never got any business because they were so ridiculously overpriced. any money they got was spent on machinery they never used #i think you need to price according to your audience. if your audience is a bunch of people living paycheck to paycheck #then asking $1000 is absolutely nonsensical #if your audience is snobby billionaires with too much money to spend then charging $100 is a slap in the face to them #all in all just dont get pissy when no one buys from you #and if you have any doubts just know that the cheaper something is the more people will be able to afford it.#getting 5 sales for a product that's $50 is better than one sale for $250. because that one sale correlates to only one person experiencing #your work. only one person to talk about your work and gush about your work.#meanwhile those 5 people will probably boast about how they got such a magnificent piece for such an affordable price and refer you.#idkkkk just me and my experience in sales
