I just recently finished my first commissioned drawing. It was a very rewarding experience. I guess it just gives me hope that I can make money doing what I love. I set my price at 150 US dollars for an 11x14, which is very reasonable in my opinion because of the hours I put in. I told my friend the price before I started and she had no problem, so it must not be to much. When I finished it and posted the picture on facebook, she saw it and was speechless. As I was chatting with her about the drawing I mentioned that the fur was pretty tough to draw and I also mentioned I had over 40 hours in the fur because I was trying to find a technique for rendering the dogs fur. She asked me how much more she owed me, I laughed and said that I had already set the price in the beginning so all she owed me was to tell everyone and show everyone the drawing. I am now starting 3 different drawings at the same time, Mila Kunis, a puppy and kitten and my cousins two little boys. This way I wont get burned out when I start rendering animal fur!

Most of my family think I am crazy for moving 4 hours away to a new state to start my art career. They are to severely programmed by the matrix, which is what I call the false reality that we all live in. For some reason it's OK to tell children to dream big and you can be anything you want when you grow up. Well, I just grew up and I am following my dream.
