I don’t think I’m the best by any means, but, would you buy something from me? It would be a select your own price shop. I will accept tbt, igb (if you are willing to go through the trouble), and an art trade. I can also draw anything for you, Animal Crossing, Pok?mon, and more. Here is an example of what I can do (it won’t be on lined paper, I just got some new Strathmore sketch pads). If you need more examples, just ask me :) Also, if you click on the attachment links, you will be taken to the images.

I can;t see your images.But: it never hurts to start something!
You'll gain experience and earn profit so go for it I guess.

Hello, I believe if you click on the attachments, it will take you to them.

I can't see the attachments

also, if you want to start commissions, don't expect everyone to come rushing up to buy your art. It takes time to build a fan base (helps if you advertise on other social medias).

From what I can tell, the links are still dead, are they?

Your links are currently dead because they have an extra http:// before the https:// that are supposed to be there. Cut off that part and they'll work.

I really think you should wait until you can draw digitally. There's a bigger market for digital art than photos on paper (unless you scan them).

u kno people like u telling people that they should just do digital art and that nobody cares about traditional art is the damn REASON why nobody wants to buy traditional art anymore.

traditional art w/ a good photo === digital art

honestly if you want to start selling art, go ahead! i wouldnt recomend doing rlc just yet, esp since you said ur 14. what i woudl recomend for taking good quality pictures that people will want to buy is to not draw on lined paper, make sure you take a picture vertical to your drawing so you dont get warped images with a weird perspective, and try to take a picture with natural light if you can. i made a post a while ago about what i would recomed for taking good traditional pictures, click here if u wanna read it - its basically a more in depth version of this because its three am and ia m TiiIIired

Yeah, rn I’m just looking for tbt bells or an art trade. Also, that was just me being cheap for the lined paper. All for personal enjoyment. Since I have better sketch pads (no lines), that will be what I use. Also, yeah. I was just lazy with my camera because it tookso many attempts to make the link work. Thanks for the encouragement and tips:)

yeah, I can def see people buying something if you just made the photo quality as clear as you can! You could start with headshots and go from there, maybe add an option for art trades if that's what you're also interested in.

Yeah.... Since I took the picture 2000 times, I just decided to not make it as perfect as possible. Also, I do need to add art trades in my first post. Thanks for the support.
