 How to Earn Money from Commission Drawings Making Income as an Artist 


Do you love sketching or painting and want to turn it into a real source of income? The good news is—you can easily earn money online with art commissions. People all over the world are ready to pay artists for custom portraits, digital illustrations, and hand-drawn artwork.

In this guide, I’ll show you everything step by step: how to set the right price for your drawings, where to find clients who pay, how to collect safe payments, and how to deliver your artwork without risks. This is written in simple, beginner-friendly language, so even if you’ve never sold your art before, you can follow along.

Step 1: Improve Your Skills & Decide Pricing

Before you start looking for clients, focus on your art quality. Most customers will send you normal or blurry photos, but they will expect a polished, professional-looking result. Practice portraits, experiment with graphite, charcoal, and colored pencils, and keep improving until you feel confident.

💡 Quick test: Draw your own portrait with full effort. Then ask yourself, “If I saw this online, how much would I pay for it?” This will give you a realistic idea of your skill level.

When it comes to art commission pricing, use a clear system:

  • A4 size portrait = Base price

  • A3 = +50% more

  • Extra person in drawing = Add 50% of base price

  • Medium matters → Graphite or charcoal is cheaper, color drawings cost more

⚖️ Example: If an A4 single portrait costs ₹1000, then an A3 with two people would be around ₹2250. This method helps you stay fair to yourself and affordable for clients.

Step 2: Get Clients Online & Collect Payments Safely

The golden rule is simple: what is seen, sells. If no one sees your artwork, you won’t get any orders. That’s why you need to promote your drawings online.

📲 Best platforms to get art commissions:

  • Instagram → Post reels, progress videos, and use hashtags like #commissionart, #portraitdrawing, #freelanceartist.

  • Facebook groups → Join art communities and post your samples.

  • Pinterest → Upload your drawings for free promotion.

  • DeviantArt / ArtStation → Build a professional portfolio for global buyers.

✨ Pro Tip: Post regularly, reply to comments quickly, and chat with clients in a polite, professional tone.

Now, the most important part → safe payments.

  • For local clients (India/Pakistan): Use Paytm, Google Pay, JazzCash, Easypaisa, or bank transfer.

  • Always take 30–50% advance before starting the order.

  • For international clients: Only use PayPal, Wise, or direct bank transfer. Never trust anyone asking for crypto or unknown apps—most of them are scams.

Step 3: Deliver Art Safely & Grow Your Income

Once you finish a commission and receive the remaining payment, it’s time to ship the drawing. Always pack it with cardboard + bubble wrap to avoid damage.

Best delivery methods:

  1. India Post / Speed Post – Affordable, safe, and reliable for local delivery.

  2. Private couriers (DHL, Blue Dart, UPS, FedEx) – Costlier, but best for urgent and international orders.

When I started my own journey, my very first portrait sold for just ₹30. At that time, I didn’t even believe I could make a career out of this. But by improving my skills, charging fairly, and using social media promotion, I started earning thousands of rupees per artwork.

Remember: Every successful artist once started as a beginner. If you stay consistent, you can easily get 10–15 paid commissions per month—and that can truly change your life.

✅ Final Words: To earn money from commission drawings, you only need four things—good drawing skills, smart pricing, social media visibility, and safe payments/delivery. Stick to these steps, and you’ll never run out of clients.
