Hello! :wave: I thought of making this small guide, based from my personal experience, to give tips to artists, mostly beginners, to be more successful at selling commissions, since seeing from my previous journal many had difficulty with it. So here are some tips to help boosting your sales.
Have your commission info somewhere visible
Possibly, people won't even know you are taking commissions or if they are open if you don't put your commission info somewhere they can see. You can do this in a journal, that I mostly recommend, since it will be showing into your watcher's inboxes and most of your watchers probably rarely visit your profi

You CAN Do It Too! Commissions, Exposure, and...
Do you feel like no one cares about your artwork? That no matter how hard you try, you'll never improve? Well, I've been there before.
A little less than a year ago, I didn't even have 100 watchers. It was tough trying to find commissions, even though I priced them around 10 - 100 :points: an hour. Sure, I had some wonderful people supporting me (thank you very much for that!), but when I looked at the thousands of diehard fans the "popular" artists had, I felt kinda useless. It seemed like even a thousand watchers, or just being able to earn minimum wage was impossible. Sometimes I wanted to cry from all the effort I put in. I kept d

How do you not lose them completely?
Should you hide all your feelings for their sake of happiness just so they don't fade away from you?
Is it alright to feel this pain of nothing can guide you?
What if they were your only friend and you hoped that they would stay beside you?
What do you do if you feel yourself slipping away?

Hello to my fellow watchers and viewers!
As you all may have noticed my profile isn't that great and nor is my ID art piece that fascinating either. I haven't had much luck with the program I used while creating it so it was quite difficult to draw properly. So please forgive me for my poor art skills at that point but I hope that you will all enjoy and look forward to the artwork that shall be posted in the future. I plan to do my best in creating much more art as often as possible for those of you who faithfully continue to watch me and want to see me improve! I'll do my best to not let you all down including myself!
