For the first time finally someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to pricing art. I keep seeing pricing guides based in a vacuum and calculated solely on time spent, when at the end of the day the time spent on an art does necessarily equal higher value. There are so many other factors, including skill, demand, and competition. That's a handy tool as well :D Tahnsk for the video
I think the sizing approach is the best overall, but also at least adding in some of the material cost, even if it's a flat rate (barring having to buy an all new brush or specific color for it).
I would add the skill level and number of years, as price influence. Probably would remove the number of hours, or strictly optional. You should consider it.
Thanks, Krystle, very enlightening! I'm curious, I make digital art, haven't tried to sell any yet. How would you price that? I'm guessing that if I print it myself it would be by cost of materials plus shipping plus profit, and if I use a POD service it would be some amount above their cost. What do you think?
Yes, just make sure to include in your costs and the fees on any platforms that you’re selling on, also work into the cost the ability to give discount codes to customers. You’ll also want to verify what other people are charging for the similar products on whatever platforms you’re selling on. To make sure that you will have competitive prices if you’re using print on demand. Because the costs are usually higher with that.
I love how much patience you put into your explanations. You always sound so genuinly calm and kind! ✨🥰
