In one part of the speedpaint, which is in the beginning when you're coloring in the eyelashes, you can expand a few pixels on the bucket if your app has one. That way, you don't have to color in those tiny little spaces the bucket missed. Hope this helps.

Can you explain in more detail?

when pricing, also make sure you are charging at least minimum wage! if it takes an hour to sketch, the sketch is worth at least 7.25 usd

Great video! I personally won’t be opening commissions anytime soon because when I last opened them I got only a few clients that would stop responding to me when I tried to discuss the commission with them. It sure was weird and it’s not like my prices were crazy high or anything. I guess it was just bad luck. Anyway good luck everyone with your commissions!

pretty good advice! i've thought about opening commissions but i don't think i have the discipline and motivation to keep on top of it even if people paid me. i commend those who can

Anyone knows what is a good size or a good pratice that will help with quality when sending/finishing an artwork? Bigger Canva size? Running the art through something before sending it?

I want to start commissions but my dad would need to like have control over my venmo settings and all that bc I'm a minor. And my dad doesn't know I have like most of the social media I have. So unless venmo has like a DM feature ppl wouldn't be able to contact me lol

quick question, when sending a sketch or finished art piece, you send it with your "watermark" or without it? it really bothers me cuz idk if it’s appropriate to sign it cuz the person pays for it ^_^

@rottika 27 күн бұрын

I usually always send my work to the commissioner with a watermark. Though, I don’t if they ask me to remove it, or if they’re going to use the artwork for commercial purposes.

I have a question, when you send the comission to the comissioner do you just send it in an e-mail and what type of file is it then?

@rottika 2 ай бұрын

Yes, I send it in an e-mail and it’s a PNG file so that the buyer gets it in the best quality. :]

Quick question, do you use PayPal invoices to receive commission money, or do you just get the person to send it directly to you?

I have the money sent directly to me, personally. :]

@@rottika Ah I see! Would you recommend if I use invoices or the friends and family option to receive money?

@rottika 2 ай бұрын

@@useriiko I haven’t ever used invoices before, so I can’t give you a super balanced recommendation, so I would recommend looking into the pros and cons of both options.
