How much would you pay for a portrait done with Prismacolor Pencil? this girl want $450 for the whole job i want a 27 x 34 1/2 portrait done this is the pic http://yfrog.com/1stheyoungvictoria07j someone who never done a paid commissioned portrait is charging me $450 $130 which is for her to buy the 132 set of Prismacolor Pencil's and $320 for her work which she says will take her 3 months to do (since she has work and school) is the price fair considering she wont use up all the pencils (this some of her work) http://yfrog.com/7dn68106822343204506619j capwest5 can you email your friends info or write it on the question
Well, I have to admit that she is a talented artist judging by the picture on the bottom link (if in fact it was her that drew that, which is difficult to verify). But my overall feeling is that $450 is too expensive and 3 months is far too long of a time frame. You shouldn't be the one buying the pencils for her either - if she is a serious artist, she should already have those materials. It's like me saying "I'll compose a song for you if you buy me a guitar." ----------------- I happen to know a very talented artist who I used to work with. (He's a very young Mexican guy, but his stuff is amazing). He would probably charge you about $200, and the work certainly wouldn't take all of 3 months to complete - more like one month. He has his own materials.
