This tutorial is getting more attention lately, so I've updated it. and reopened comments. I will close commenting agian if people get all holier than thou again.

Apparently I cant change the gallery because they'll never load. you'll have to download the doc until I can.

I'll add more FAQ as they come along as well enjoy.



FAQ
I get SO many notes about more questions. I'll add them!

Q: How do I set up paypal?
A: It's different for different countries! I'm Canadian and from what I hear the American paypal is very different. other countries .. who knows. you will need to follow the instructions that paypal gives you, and ask them if you have questions.

Q: Can you go through my gallery and tell me if its worth opening commissions/I'm good enough/ how much to charge?
A: No, I can't. Sorry but pricing is something you have to manage on your own, and it's up to you to open commissions for your OWN reasons, not because i said you're cool

Q: What option should people use when sending money via paypal?

A: I'm not sure which ones have fees or not, but i generally choose "other" or gift"

this is amazing, but i have one small doubt...
i am pretty confident about my skills in traditional art (shading+copics) and digital art (cel shading as well as the painter-ly style) but i am also confident in my animation skills (2d very short animations; mostly looping). The huge question from my side is: what do i offer up for comiision?? is it ok if i say that i will draw EVRYTHING which i mentioned above? or should i draw only one of the three categories??? Im sorry about my english, but i sincerely hope you understood this.... I need help on this part. I am thinking of startng a journal entry for commisions soon. Thanks.

PS: I suck at backgrounds, so will people neglect it if i say that i wont do backgrounds???

You offer what you're comfortable with.
If you don't want to do backgrounds - characters alone only are something you could do.
Basically, offer what you're comfortable with. Then you can't go wrong.

To the PS part: maybe charge more for backgrounds and say that you won't do complicated ones C: there are tutorials for background.

I suggest EVERYTHING. you're good at all of them - and more than 1 choice will lure them in C:

hope I helped.
