Hello there! I want to reopen my art comms, but after a run in with another artist I think I might have underpriced my art. I was also wondering if I should start doing ref sheet comms and how I should price them.

Link to my art comm thread which has a few art examples and my current prices

And a ref sheet I did

I'm not the best at pricing art, but yours is definitely way underpriced. 1$=2=2400. To make it worth it for you, you should be selling at at least minimum wage. Take your area's minimum wage (converted into usd i think), and double it, then multiply that by the average hours it takes you to make an art piece to find your art's price in . The problem with doing that is that it will often result in you pricing your art "too high," because everyone except professionals price their art too low and customers are used to that. You're currently getting customers, so if you're happy with what you're making, feel free to keep it, but unless you're the fastest artist on the planet, you're making way below minimum wage. You might want to ask the people buying your art what they think it's worth to find a happy medium between having customers and actually being paid. If that fails, I recommend doing adopts, for some reason this community is way better at paying fair prices for new ocs than art of existing ones. Your art is really good, and I figure that people would keep buying it if you upped the price.
