ok, let's have a /biz/ thread.
my goal is to be a pro, and I will practice these six months from now how to do realism from reference, which is enough for most people.
So, where I can sell my services IRL?
So far I've got these:
>Those guys who have commercial printers for ads, calenders and posters
>Anime conventions (networking with other artists).
>Cultural centers
>Religious people and the church
>The japanese embassy/association of my city
>Newspapers and magazines (no clue over how to show them my work though).
Anything else I may add?
meh, Make 4 really good examples.
Carry them around religiously as you try to do interesting sketches out in public.
>Hurr durr anon that is an interesting drawing, how long have you been drawng?
>Pull out your le_epic_photocopies_muh_realism.jpgs and blow them away. Have a set rate that is just more expensive than what you think they want to pay. You need to price your skill so they realize it's a luxury. If they hessitate, Offer to sell them a print for half. Just getting the print in their home is worth it for word of mouth.
Tell them you do custom orders. Have fun.
I don't recommend taking business advice from /ic/. All most people here focus on are low-paying private Tumblr commissions, and porn Patreons. Do you really want input from these morons?
