I'm not a artist but someone who loves to buy art I agree you should charge what your art is worth but I have been in situations where I can't spend 50$ on a sketch headshot. this thread is very misleading and just makes small artist feel bad... https://twitter.com/Thuminnoo/status/1385504937258409984
a small artist getting a 5 20$ commision a week is better than 1 200$ commision a month. art is a skill its a luxury and if people can't afford to spend 200$ on one peice of art they won't buy it... which will hurt small artist(small businesses)
this thread is implying that the same people who spend 20-50$ on art will spend 100-200 on the same art when that just isn't the case... I'm lucky I make above minimum wage now but even I can't afford to buy multiple 100-200$ peices a month.
I know this thread is about artist valuing their work and I agree with that. often times when I commision someone who I think is under charging i tip to make up for it. but having the idea everyone should charge hourly for art is now turning art into something you can pump
out like a factory. and that's so unhealthy and not fair. I understand this is a unpopular opinion and probably wring of me to say. but I'm not rich I'm not someome who has the ability to spend that much. this thread is turning art into something only rich people can have...
and that hurts everyone I know its wrong of me to say I cant give artists the money they deserve for their work and I feel horrible which is why I go to artist who are in my price rage and then only occasionally go to artist who are a bit more expensive after budgeting.
I'm sorry if this thread hurts anyone I just felt guilty and made at myself reading the thread because I know I personally wouldn't be able to buy art if it was 100$ per peice. I'm sorry
