portraits - how much to charge...?

[joko]

i've been asked by a number of people to do a portrait for them, but I have no idea what to charge...

I am also thinking of starting a website an offering them for sale properly

they are just A4 pencil sketches done from photographs, but can people generally give me an idea of what theyd expect to pay for a portrait of this type?
they would not be framed.

ive looked at some online but the prices seems to vary, and some of the quality of them is not that good...

I believe mine are very good and that people would pay a wee bit more to know they will be getting a true likeness and a good skilled drawing

but of course i dont want to overcharge - just want to charge a fair and reasonable price

my mates will be getting mates rates of course but id like to find a price to sell them online

any ideas??

thanks

well done joko....hope your venture pays off.....just give your customers a price and see if they are happy with it...btw if i had a portrait done id pay more if it was framed...that just adds a bit more class to your effort...and frames are not that expensive....good luck....

here on the sea front


caricatures 15 euros

black n white sketch 30 euros

colour one 50 euros


so more or less same but in pounds would seem fair

cool joko, I do a similar thing as a hobby, occasionally I will transfer one to canvas as a gift. There is definately a market for proper portraits
