HOWEVER, a good artist will always leave some sort of update and notify commissioners of their status. Note that these are prone to change if some life-altering incident occurs. While life may happen and cause issues, they'll do their best to : Inform customers about their commission status Have an easy way to be contacted Will be direct and honest with others Won't make excuses for their behavior Deliver their commissions as expected by their own standardsObviously it's a bit more than that, but these are what I've found in consistently good artists that deliver commissions. A mature artist will understand their responsibilities. Maybe you made a mistake! Maybe the customer made mistake? How can we handle this in the most mature way possible? First and foremost, understand that while commissioners are understanding, when money is involved, you have a commitment.

An Immature Commission Artist : Why am I talking about maturity before anything else regarding commissions? Doing commissions requires a certain level of maturity! No matter how young or old you are, you need to be able to communicate well! This is especially important when handling money. You want to do your best to avoid the latter.

That's right! Being an artist who takes on commissions involves a lot of communication! And that's something you got to learn overtime! You have to talk to people, but you also have to know HOW to do it! There are certain behaviors commissioners are going to accept and certain things they will not. Nowadays, I take it more seriously and try to improve my skills whether it be my artwork or communicating with others. I never got into doing commissions trying to make the most money or a quick buck. It was a simple, 'I see others doing it, people are asking me for requests, I might as well make money, lol.' Not the most interesting story, but a pretty average one for many starting out. I can't make you instantly rich or famous lol RESPONSIBILITY/COMMUNICATION : When I first started commissions it wasn't a BIG, GRAND EXPERIENCE. So don't expect any get-rich-quick stuff in here. At the end of the day, I can only speak from my experience. Please keep this in mind before telling me something didn't work out because I warned you at the very beginning. Some things will be different and maybe won't apply to you. Please understand this when reading about my perspective. I do make good money from doing commissions, but it is not my main source of income. Commissions are a part of my income but are also my 2nd job. However, most of all, this journal should show you how to have confidence in what you do! Please keep in mind that I am NOT a fancy artist who makes thousands each year. Some of these will include what it mean to be an artist who takes commissions, how to protect yourself legally, and how to make sure you are not robbing yourself of your time and effort. This journal is here for me to talk about several things and I'll answer any potential questions as I feel that I didn't elaborate enough on my FAQ. There will be a link for that at the end of this journal entry, but that's not the point of this Masterpost. This IS NOT a tutorial on how to set up Paypal. This is specifically a guide for artists to learn their worth and to find ways to help protect themselves. I will make a client edition ONLY if asked (this is mainly for my FAQ, so who knows?). This is specifically talking about being an artist who takes commissions. I get a lot of people asking me questions now (due to my spike in popularity, which is honestly crazy) and I've gotten these questions so much, I need to address them firmly in one gigantic post. We're starting with the artist side of doing commissions, meaning YOU are the one providing art for others for money in return! This is NOT for people who are customers, but you might get a new perspective reading this, so either way, enjoy! Beginnings/My Experience : It's not new for me to talk about the art community in my spare time, but I feel it's something I need to do. I also take commissions! This is the main topic for this journal today. Hello! My name is and I'm a freelance illustrator who likes to draw fanart, magical girls, and fantasy illustrations.
