I have been thinking about what my scale for commissions should be. Right now, the way I have it figured is thus:
(For one subject, no background)
Pencil sketch: $10.00
Ink: $20.00
Color: $40.00
You’ll note how the rate doubles from the base of $10.00. The reason why is that I earn that much per hour before taxes at my weekend job, and a pencil sketch on average takes me an hour from start to finish. Inked takes me two hours, color takes me four, etc. What do you think?
