Hi guys! I hope this will help with the doubt on how to price your work and how much you can be making as an illustrator! let me know if this is useful

[autumnfesperman]

Hi there, I can also recommend a book: "Pricing & Ethical Guidelines" by the Graphic Artists Guild. It is revised every year I think. I had not thought of even looking for an online rate calculator!

I appreciate your sharing we all need to be more transparent in order to have our work valued 💕

[mrs.quills]

Thank you for sharing these resources! I agree this isn’t something talked about and can be confusing for many artists. Have you thought about making a video about writing up contracts or business proposals for clients?

Thank you for this video. I have a video request can you please make a video on how to compose an illustration? ❤

[cece]

Hello Asia! Amazing video as always! Very helpful and tons of beautiful insights. I have a few questions (or maybe video ideas?) if that's okay :)

1. As someone who's starting out in the illustration industry, when should I start charging for my work? (A bit of background, I'm still very new to the industry, still working on my portfolio, etc., when would be a good time for me to say to myself, "Alright, NOW, I can start selling prints/offering commissions!" Should I polish myself for a year before I start offering work? I hope my explanation makes sense)

2. What are your thoughts about applying to agencies or having an agent? Pros and cons?

Thank you very much! :)

Hi Asia!
Enjoyed the video!
could you tell me if there would be sites similar to those you mentioned, but not for illustrator artists, but for writers?
Thanks!
