Art pricing ?

I was asked not long ago , how much I charge to do a drawing , and I really was'nt sure what to say. I need to figure this out , so if anyone else ever ask that again ( yeah right ). I'm sure I need to base it on the size of the drawing. Maybe start low, and as I get better, maybe charge more ?Also I thought What if it's really easy drawing , should I charge as much as others the same size?Just looking for some guide lines to help me out .
Oh and if there is any other threads related to or that may help , by all means refer me

I do drawings for friends and co-workers for $50 a drawing (that's 11x14" paper, so an 8x10" drawing) for commissions. This is a real bargain, but being new at drawing, I figure it's fair. You're probably at about my skill level now Atilla, so that might give you something to think about. If you look at other art on the net, it's often at least 3x more expensive than what I charge, if not more. You could probably charge $100 a drawing and get away with it, or you could negotiate with your clientele... whatever works!

I try to be , thanks maybe I'll be prepared next time someone ask , instead standind there going duh duh.

Pricing for $50? I don't even have the heart to price at $10! I haven't done any commissions in my lifetime. I tried for my friends, but felt it came out ugly and gave it to them free.

Atilla, whatever you feel is fair. I'm not sure about this commission pricing thing. I just draw for free Drawing a commission puts me on pressure.

Well the frames I've been getting are $10 so it would be at least that , and if I do one I will let them know I need time, and if they want rush me, lol well you know what happens when I rush .

Thanks guys , really the reason , I was that lucky to have someone ask me , is I hsve 3 of my pics on display in a local Pastors video store, and I happen to be in there , and he shows everyone . If I did one, I would have to try even harder, because I would feel like it might not be good enough for them .

my boss got me a comission the other day, its for her uncle... he wants me to paint some flames on a cornhole game boards, red on one and blue on the other. she ask me what it would cost and i said, well it wouldnt take me too long, so 30 bucks and im good, but she said hes willing to pay more... maybe im just too nice sometimes

i suck at painting, but ill snap a pic once finished next week and post them and see if my work was well worth him paying me for.

yes, and i hate painting
