How I price commissioned artwork (and why I stopped undercharging)

Time, materials, skill, and the emotional weight of the work. I used to price by the hour and consistently undervalued the skill component. Now I price by the piece, factoring in all four elements. My income doubled and my clients respect the work more. Pricing is a skill too.

What tools do you use to stay organised? I'm always looking for better systems.

The part about consistency really landed for me. That's been my struggle.

This works even better when you pair it with regular check-ins. Game changer for retention.
