>tfw no commissions this month what's your boiling point

>>3037366
>feel when only $400 this month

it's suicide

>>3037366
I feel your pain, anon. Except my drought has been over a year. Fortunately I'm a patient type.

If I may ask.
what sites/site do you guys use and what do you draw for commissions.
I'm just about to go into it and my first commission is doing something for a friend who knew I draw. I'm personally interested in enviromenta but have decent enough skills at living things to draw whatever for people. I was thinking of putting up both my "concepts" and some fanart I like. Currently gitting gud at painting enviroments and anatomy and gestures are next on my list.

how i can start doing commissions or create a market around us

What would /biz/ say?

>>3037455
Stop drawing and buy my crypto.

>>3037366
Improve your art and you won't have this kind of problems imo.

>>3037646
Tell that to thdark

>>3037712
Is it just a coincidence he has a study of another threads image

>>3037715
He mentions /ic on his tumblr so probably not.

>>3037712
well, you obviously have to be consistent too. he goes for months without releasing any new content on his tumblr, or even promoting his patreon.
he's the example of artist that is incapable of working with people.

>>3037712
I really want to commission him something to show my support but I dunno what.
I'll wait until he starts drawing comics i guess.

>tfw I don't take any money and just draw by request because I'm just trying to gain exposure

>>3037789
Worst method possible. You'll only attract freeloaders. Also that isn't a feel.

>>3037455
non crypto /biz/ here

Start drawing fanart, with silly scenarios

Do innocent fanships, et cetera.

Drop your art on multiple sites, stream

draw on the side of an actual career, like actuary science

>>3037797
>Also that isn't a feel.
Holy shit lurk moar newfag

>>3037807
>acts like a newfag
>calls others newfag
Gonna be a loooong summer.

>>3037809
tfw = the face when

networking is ridiculously important for this kind of stuff, took me far too long to realize.
even just small things like being more talkative with other artists on twitter helps.

good luck, anon.

I've made $60 so far this year

Feels good, man

>>3037797
I planned on transitioning to commisssions once I got bigger, I don't take requests often that much anyway, so it isn't a big deal

>tfw 2 weeks without a tattoo client
>tfw a month without art commissions
>tfw no bazars and art shit that i can sell my prints for months now
>I still have to pay my rent and my bills
How can i end it quickly and without disappointing my parents even more

>>3037366
Get good first, enter competitions, let the work come to you

If you need money get a side job

Seriously you don't want to be desperate for shitty commissions , better to build a unique identity and really figure out your portfolio and direction

>>3040774
if only you got gud before you even considered doing art as a profession you wouldn't be struggling so much

also bullet to the head
