Im really insecure abt my art to my family but they're so supportive even when i was very young and not good at digital art. My family really wants me to start selling my drawings but im too scared to 😅😭 But im glad to know that they're willing to let me do so if i wanted to 😅
Same and i wanna make some money too the problem is i'm insecure too i think i'm not good enough to get any commisions i'm scared that i might not be able to make any money because my mom and dad have really high expectations from me and i don't wanna disappoint them T~T
Thank you for this ! I’m 13 , and I’m planning to start commissions due to some money needed in my family . This video was very informational and all I needed , thank you ! ^^
@@sandipdhar449 yup paypal is safe! I sadly only got like 3 more commisions after that comment but I did start an etsy shop and that’s doing much better :)
Actually, realism tends to get a lot of credit for how difficult it can be (of course it depends on the amount of detail n’ stuff you’re doing), you just gotta find the right crowd!
@@Ihatepokimonsomuchgoood i haven't gotten a single order yet! :'D probably because of how horrible i am at advertizing myself :') turning fifteen in sixteen days, might as well wish for things to change, haha...
This video helped me a lot, I post my art on my acc with 16.3k followers atm, but this video really helped me grasp the understanding of taking commission as a 14 year old :D
Oh wow, thanks for these tips!! I'm planning on asking my parents about it once I get Twitter/other social medias and actually get better at art so people want to commission me// Technically the first commission I got was when I was 11, my brother paid be $5 (he just bought robux on my roblox account) for a drawing of one of his plushies (he also tried to commission me a drawing of mountains for $10 but I had to tell him I can't draw mountains well)
Thank you for making my this video! I wanted to do commissions but I kept watching videos from older artists so they had all the adult things I couldn't do because of my age
Thank you guys for all the likes, comments, and subscribes it’s super appreciated! If you have any suggestions for future videos please reply to this comment with them
This helps so much! I am underage and my friend is having issues with money because their family was sued and they are having to sell their pets because they cant afford to take care of them and i feel really bad about what they are having to deal with and i want to help anyway i can so if i can help them get more money thats awesome! I love your videos and this tutorial is great❤️
Thanks! Im watching a couple videos about commissions and how and stuff. Im like very very VERY young but sometimes i seem too mature too be that young that i really just don’t share my age, personal info, and i only show my face sometimes if i want unless its like “hey, show me your face.” from a total stranger or just someone that i just got to meet. Anyway, i’ve always been interested in art and its been 6 years of art i have done. I’ve done lots of art and i started sharing it but it didn’t have like a lot of views but i liked just showing the art because how proud i was and still is proud. Now that the age i am, i feel like making some money for my parents, myself, and if my sister wants some she can. I am the youngest here and i could probably get people to buy some art. I just don’t know if my parents agree but i would really like them to have some money. My price is probably gonna be low but ill try to make it like the great choice of price so that i dont overprice or have underpriced pieces and i just dont know. Because i want to know if its over or underpriced. But great video, really taught me a lot and some information i needed just incase my parents agree. Update: Im finally finished with making the sheet and im allowed to take commissions!!
thank you! this helped me alot, i started my commisions at an awfully young age (9-10) on discord, hiding my real age. i used robux as a currency for my commisions. im 14 now, and im planning on using real money as a new main currency for my commisions (i will still accept robux since i play the game and i can resell it to some of my friends ! ) your art is amazing too, your so underrated!
Oof dude this video was so helpful man. I’m under 13 and I want to sell commissions online to people other than my friends that can pay me real cash. I used to do t-spring or whatever it’s called and now I’m doing art on amino for amino coins:)
I really wanna open commissions but I'm scared too since I'm pretty insecure about my art and i know alot if people struggle with this,i told my mom if i could open a commission on shoppe which i see alot of artist go there,and she said yes and also wanted help to handle my account but I'm still unsure,thank you for the tips (sorry that this is long)
I struggle with feeling insecure about my art as well. I just have to remember I’ve always felt that way and while I still have improvements to make I shouldn’t put off putting myself out there because if I did then I wouldn’t ever achieve what I’d like to. Anyways I’m glad your mom is supportive and I wish you luck!!
Tysm I'm 17 and have been wanting to do commissions for like 2 years but my mom just won't let me but I really need to so I can buy my own drawing tablet ( + the art program my sister uses since that's what I'm used to) since I use my sister's I only get like 20% of the time out of a month to be able to draw digital💀
This is very helpful, thank you! However, I'm still hesitant on telling my parents about me wanting to make money selling my art. They don't know I do digital art and post it online. I don't want them to watch my Instagram account but I think they will want to know what I'm doing online...
You could make a separate Instagram account and only post the art you’d like your parents to see !! Kinda annoying to have to do but it provides privacy
I’ve had most luck getting commissioners on Amino. Specifically on Aminos like Adopts Amino and Arts and OCs Amino. But I know some other artists get commissioners on places like DeviantArt, FurAffinity, ToyHouse, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. But if you’re able to get a good amount of active followers on places like Instagram then it’ll be easier to get commissioners. I know some artists who get all their commissioners from Instagram because they have a lot of followers/people interested in their art.
tysm for this video i’m 14 almost 15 and have been wanting to make some money but the only thing i’m kind of good at is art lol .. but im not really familiar with amino so i think it might be too hard to get commissions on twitter or instigram? if anyone has any tips plz share them 😞
Hii!! Dw you’re not being annoying, it’s been awhile since I made this but I believe I was using Procreate’s studio pen and maybe technical pen as well. They’re both default brushes on Procreate
If I'm being honest, I really just wanna open comms so I don't have to ask my parents for money lol And also maybe to drop out if I start making good money from comms, but obv it's gonna take time to grow so that isn't happening soon So far this video has been the most helpful, thnx for the advice :)
Any art program will work!! Personally I recommend MediBang, Procreate, Paint Tool SAI, or Clip Studio Paint but you can really use any art program as long as you know how to use it
this video is so helpful!! i really like the art. i have a question though, if im using paypal, is it possible for someone from another country to send me the payment? if so, does the currency automatically change or do i need to do something?
Yes it is possible!! PayPal should convert it for you from my knowledge This might be a helpful article for your question www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/how-do-i-send-a-payment-in-another-currency-help108
Not many But there are also a lot of factors to it I had a really small following at the time, my art wasn’t that great, and I was only posting commissions on one platform Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get many commissions at first unfortunately that’s just how it is sometimes
@@solvrubi thank you so much! Your artstyle is super pretty, and it's really admirable that u we're able to have a consistent art style. My art isn't that great yet, ofc, I'm fully aware that I have a long way to go in order to reach my goal but I'm getting quite frustrated for not being motivated but that's just what it is, I have to push myself a little to achieve what I want, and to prove to some people that it's not just wishful thinking. I hope u have a great day
@@Deadaalready Some artists have had their PayPal accounts hacked or money just randomly taken out (not entirely sure on the circumstances.) So that’s one reason why I don’t keep my money in PayPal but it’s also because I just don’t have a reason to. I always pay with my card and you can use PayPal to withdraw money from your bank account without keeping money in the PayPal account itself
@@solvrubi Ohh I get it..and I hav a last question.. Is Paypal really safe to use? Like they wont take all the money from our bank accounts??Sorry if im asking too many questions cause i also wanna do commisions too! But Im also really cautious
@@solvrubi ok thank you! But I have another question, when it asks for you to enter “product or service keywords” and “what are your monthly sales” what do you add?
i have a question..can non americans citizens use paypal? cuz im scared if i wanna withdraw the money but it ends up in me needing to create another bank account bcuz my country's bank account isn't in the app😭 i know it's like a rlly dumb question but im rlly confused on how this all works 💔
Hi!! I know that some countries don’t allow the use of PayPal you’d have to look into it Here’s a link that shows countries with PayPal restrictions and alternatives to PayPal simtechdev.com/blog/paypal-alternatives-in-restricted-countries/ Also it’s not a dumb question at all! If your country isn’t on the list with restrictions maybe you could try calling your bank or emailing PayPal about it? I highly recommend being able to withdraw the money into a bank account since there have been situations where artists have essentially been stolen from by PayPal and it was only possible since they left their money in the PayPal account If you end up not being able to use PayPal there are alternatives like Venmo that you could use instead
