I’m so sorry you had to go through that, unfortunately I’ve experienced something very similar: i illustrated a children’s book for a decently close friend of ours but I didn’t bring up getting paid till the end, so by then she ghosted me and I never got paid even though I gave up my whole summer to complete it the illustrations😭 it just stinks how it seems that so few people take art seriously and they are very quick to take advantage of artists but I love that you made a video to talk about it. The piece is absolutely incredible along wt this video, thank you for sharing, I’ll keep your tips in mind as I’ve been wanted to commissions too!!💕💕
Imagine telling a teenager to get a job when you don't have one either 💀. In all seriousness, I'm so sorry that all the hard work you put into this beautiful drawing almost didn't get paid. I wish you the best with future commissions!
aah i was actually getting so mad while listening lmaoo 😭his deflection was insanee you did not deserve that but im glad you got the money in the end and the artwork turned out really cool!!
Nooooo that’s a horrible first experience 😭😭 my first commission went so smoothly and the girl was so nice. I’m so sorry 🥲 but the drawing is literally so beautiful
So sorry this happened to you. I have done commissions only a couple times and both times it was disappointing. I asked for payment up front so that wasn't the problem but once I started working on it and I sent them a quick sketch they were like: oh you know we really want to go with a different theme and not what was originally presented to me👀 I swear I think to really live from commissions it takes a long time to get a good base of clients that you can trust. Thank you for your video❤ BTW I think your art is amazing you should charge double of what you said in your video. You as the artist deserves it. ❤
This video is really helpful ty for sharing your experience it really helps people to learn that even if it is your family member you should go head and get down payment first❤ Btw roses are so good JSKJHSJ-👀🎀

What a nightmare. Hate that your first commission went like that. My first commission was an Instagram scam for a cat portrait so I know how you feel.
Yep definitely not the best feeling but glad I learned my lesson!
