I know I'm in tier 3, but I was thinking of opening an art shop and I was wondering what a rough pricing estimate would be. Examples (from most recent to oldest) As you can see I tried out some different styles lol. Anyways, thoughts? |

You're off to a really great start in your arting career! My thoughts are start out cheap. It's going to feel like you're working too hard for making art, but as you're working and being paid even a little, you'll improve little by little until you can raise your prices. When I first started my shop it was pay what you want- I somewhat recommend starting with this, but it backfired on me because sometimes I got paid maybe 1k for two hours of work. But doing pay what you want(what the customer thinks the art is worth) is one method. The second is starting out low. There's quite a bit of competition in Tier 3, but with practice and perseverance you can start out at about 5k for a horse avatar, and work your way up as you gain skill. My first shop opened about a year ago and since has been deleted, but I believe I had my prices set to 12k for a horse avi and it did sell. I'd say don't go over 15k yet, but as you improve with each step of the process, you can slowly inch your prices up, especially if demand grows for such a low price. Hope this helps! Also, what art program do you use? I could give some tips if you want some, depending on what you use. |

Ok, thank you so much! I use sketchbook on my iPad but I hate it with a burning passion :) |

You're very welcome! Oh god don't use sketchbook I mean, I can't tell you to not but when I first started I hated it so much and just quit trying. I'm not sure if you've tried it before, but ibisPaint X is what I use, it's what Misha uses(and they're like, really good) and it works pretty well if you're looking to switch. It can be a pain in the ass, but it's served me well! |

I'll definitely try it. I want anything but this demonic app at this point. It was ok at first but there's not even a blur thingy. |

Does it have a layer function? I couldn't even find that if I recall correctly. If you do switch to ibis and like it, then I'd be more than willing to toss some tips your way! I'm far from a professional myself but I've learned a few tricks on there<3 |

It does have a layer function lol. I downloaded ibis paint X, so I guess I'll see if it also kills me internally. |

Well first I'd like thank Sunshine for mentioning me LOL. Tis an honor.
Anyhoo. If you have any questions about the program or want any help, feel free to message me. I've been using ibis for a while and I think it's a great choice. I think about 5k-10k to start off is good for now. Raise the price with demand. |
