At the moment,
my prices are set like this, due mainly to paypal fees which is the only way for me to accept any payment since I'm living here in Japan. And because I feel like my skill level is still not polished at the moment and I felt like this reflects it perfectly. Another artist said they were decent so I went with it.
Honestly, I hesitate to LOWER them even further to attract customers because that will seriously undercharge me (say, I lower my sketch prices to 10 USD but then paypal takes away about 3USD and I'm left with 7USD which I feel like people think my art is not even worth it nor good. Not to mention, it's not enough to keep up with rent and stuff!)
I'm kind of depressed because I want to make money doing this and get experience but no offers. I don't know if it's my speed, the subject matter (at the moment, I'm just drawing kemonomimis though I do want to draw fursonas just I haven't come up with my own yet), or my art style, or the way I wrote my commission info and stuff but it's kind of almost making me want to just give up on illustrating and focus on just drawing comics to submit to contests here in Japan. Because at LEAST I can go to a publisher and discuss what I need to do in order to increase my chance of getting that money prize and a serialization. It's like no matter where I advertise and post, I don't get any offers at all.
