Um, no it’s not overpriced.
Because all our years of teaching ourselves how to draw isn’t worth being compensated for? If you can’t afford it, don’t commission someone.

Actually, don’t commission anyone ever, unless you change your attitude about how much an artist decides their art is worth. You’re part of the problem why people don’t respect our time. It takes hours of work to create a piece and work with a client. Art is our job, and we have every right to ask a fair wage. We are worth what we charge and often more. You would never tell a restaurant to lower their prices. You’d never tell an athlete they shouldn’t be paid. Or a programer. An artist shouldn’t be any different.

You guys realize illustration is a skilled labor right?? Imma call up my plumber next time “yeah I cant fix my own sink , and you’re the only one with that skill set to do it. So here’s the deal how about you do it for $20 bucks, and if you don’t like it get a real job.”

This^^ is how dumb you sound when you say an artist charges too much
