    In one part of the speedpaint, which is in the beginning when you're coloring in the eyelashes, you can expand a few pixels on the bucket if your app has one. That way, you don't have to color in those tiny little spaces the bucket missed. Hope this helps.

    when pricing, also make sure you are charging at least minimum wage! if it takes an hour to sketch, the sketch is worth at least 7.25 usd

      Isn’t minimum wage 15 per hour? Sorry I’m not American I might be wrong.

    Great video! I personally won’t be opening commissions anytime soon because when I last opened them I got only a few clients that would stop responding to me when I tried to discuss the commission with them. It sure was weird and it’s not like my prices were crazy high or anything. I guess it was just bad luck. Anyway good luck everyone with your commissions!

    Anyone knows what is a good size or a good pratice that will help with quality when sending/finishing an artwork? Bigger Canva size? Running the art through something before sending it?

      Yeah for both‼️sometimes even if not often people can steal art, and if you wanna be careful about posting just ask the client. It's technically your art either way

    I have a question, when you send the comission to the comissioner do you just send it in an e-mail and what type of file is it then?

    • @rottika
      @rottika  8 місяців тому +3

      Yes, I send it in an e-mail and it’s a PNG file so that the buyer gets it in the best quality. :]

    quick question, when sending a sketch or finished art piece, you send it with your "watermark" or without it? it really bothers me cuz idk if it’s appropriate to sign it cuz the person pays for it ^_^

    • @rottika
      @rottika  6 місяців тому +3

      I usually always send my work to the commissioner with a watermark. Though, I don’t if they ask me to remove it, or if they’re going to use the artwork for commercial purposes.
