what about for sketching? im pretty good at drawing, but when it comes to acrylics,
I have problems making the colors match skin texture and color, maybe I should use oils??
Depending on the size of the canvas and how good you are at painting portraits, you can charge anything between $10 to $30. If you are really good at this you can even charge $50 or more. For sketching, amateur artists charge from $1 to $10.
You can try and make a start from Ebay. Art lovers buy amateur paintings and sketches from there all the time. You can start at a low price since you are just a beginner and see how that works out for you and once you get a good following you can increase the price. Be confident about the price you set. It shouldn’t be too low or too high and do not lower the prices all of a sudden if you see that you are not getting a good response as it can seem bad. Also once you have sold a couple of paintings you can go on to making a blog or website where you can display your artwork for people to view and buy from. Hope this helps.

Don’t know. Prolly not enough though.
Yeah I kind of have that too. I can draw anything perfectly but when it comes to painting I’m mediocre.
