I just draw what I like. Art is also about having fun y'know.
Just sit down comfily, while watching or listening to something you like, and draw whatever goes through your mind. Try doing like Kim Jung Gi or these masters you maybe watched, who draw with absolute confidence. Imagine you're as good them and complete an entire page without erasing a line. It's always fun.

ISIS never attacked my gains, but only other sandnigs. They are cool in my book.

presumably yeah. Why should I draw something that I wouldn't be fan of myself? I like to think of my future self as one of my favorite artists and everyone who is worth their time and effort think so for themselves as well. You are CREATING that future artist by grinding it today.

I am getting pissed at my friends who do commissions for like $20 for a couple hour's of work. That's less than minimum wage.

I keep my mouth shut and don't tell them to raise their prices anymore (because nothing I say can cure their low self esteem) but I tell them "consider this. For the 4 hours you worked on drawing people's shitty OCs and lewds, you could've made more at a normal job, got to draw something you actually want to draw, or you could've grinded your fundies so you can get closer to charging a living wage for your time."

If you suck and your art isn't worth a living wage, then you shouldn't be doing commissions. You should focus on getting better, especially if you're still in school, young, and still have parents or a man backing you up. You'll save time and energy this way.

Another thing I tell people is "If someone really liked your work and wanted your art, they'll give you a fair price for it. Do you really want to draw for some miser who's only selected you because of your cheap price?"

If someone is cheap with how much they pay artists, what else do you think they're gonna try to be cheap with? Because the next thing you know, they're going to try to squeeze you dry ("I paid for this!"), get salty and nitpick over the smallest shit. We're the artists, we provide the service. So why do we put up with this shit?

When you take commissions, you're not just drawing. You're also dealing with the bullshit that can happen between the provider and the customer (especially with a cheap fuck of a customer), dealing with the middleman who have their own draconian rules and fees (like paypal), and juggling between your work and the rest of your life (try handling 25 cheap commissions you're doing because you have no self respect!)

Am I wrong? Why am I wrong?
