    Thank you for the great video. Especially the portion about how going low can hurt other illustrators.

    Great video! Thank you so much for getting a little more specific than a lot of people do. I also really appreciated what you said about being careful to not undercut illustrators in other countries so they can still afford their cost of living. So important and I don’t know if I would have thought about that on my own. You’re awesome and so appreciated!

    if the commission is from an individual rather than a company, does that influence the price at all?

    • @AlexandraHelm
      @AlexandraHelm  2 роки тому +1

      Yes, it definitely does. With "individuals" the price is much cheaper, as they often can't pay as much. The problem here ist that you still put in the same amount of time as if you were working for "a big client". So this is a thing you have to decide for yourself. I had to put down a lot of private projects due to the low budget people had. But if you are starting out and don't have many or none big clients it is totally fine to work for a smaller fee. It can be a good training too. I hope I could help a little here. :)

    • @AlexandraHelm
      @AlexandraHelm  2 роки тому +1

      Oh, and something I would never do: I would never ever take on a project that takes me an hour (or even longer) for only 20,- or something in that range. That is just not enough for all the time and effort we put into things...

      @@AlexandraHelm this is very insightful, thanks! If I were to send you some artwork for you to review (not expecting anything too extensive), would you be able to give me your 100% honest criticism?
