How To Commission Any Artist

Script | Artist (brown) • Client (white)

STEP 1 | Research

Its important to check your artists profile for any important comission info! Specific things to look out for could be whether or not they are taking comissions, price sheets, rules, and more!
sometimes this info is not readily available, and so thats when you can reach out to the artist directly and ask!

STEP 2 | Contact

For those who struggle with reaching out to artists due to social anxiety or just being generally nervous, Heres a script you can follow that may help!

"hello! are you currently taking comissions?"
"Yes my commissions are open! What would you like?"
"sorry my commissions are currently closed, however Id be happy to notify you when they are open again! My commissions may reopen in x days/weeks"

Note

If you are an artist its best to have commission info easily accessible to make the commissioning process easier for your client!Also, instead of just turning down a potential client, I suggest working with them to find a timeframe where you could take their commission! it'll be nice to have a client be waiting for you when you reopen your commissions.

STEP 3 | Art

"I would like 'x' please! is it okay if 'x'? id really love it if you could 'x! here are some references on the overall vibe I would like: "
