How to Take Art Commissions (Part 3): Beginner's Guide 2024

My WORST moments working on art commissions taught me some pretty great lessons like:
1. Client communication is key!
2. Learn to speak your client's language
3. Check the source photo before you say yes
4. Use digital mockups instead of sketching it all out (I use Canva)
5. Spend the most time on what's most important to them
6. Set clear expectations for how much, when, and how you will be paid $$

I loved hearing about your process. You do such a great job explaining. I love the swimmer piece so much! They are all so amazing. I'm sure the Helicopter piece was very meaningful to your client. It was so well done!
