# About me
My art has taken a few different turns through the years. With traditional roots then bloomed into learning some digital skills in Photoshop, it has now come full circle.I currently work in digital marketing and have a side business of doing traditional drawing commissions for clients. I specialize in horses but slowly am expanding my horizons into motorcycles, guns, dogs, and anything else I can find time for!
Traditional commissions are open, simply email me! Abigail.baines@gmail.com

Hello there!
You probably don't remember me, I got a breeding with Jammytime years ago with my stallion Anarchy?

Epic x3 Yeah I deactivated that account (DaftPunkPibull) but I'm literally just wandering around seeing who's still around from the old days...and I was sorting out my horses and came across Stop! Hammertime and thought of you

Well hai there
No worries, I know I never really spoke to you on that account much, but it was cause I was properly jealous of your work (and I still am) and totally awkward (now, not so much), but yeah, hello
Have a re-watch darling

Hey there! I just created a new horse breed a few days ago, and seeing that you are very involved in horse-related things I was wondering if you would like to take a look at the group and see if you wanted a horse? This breed doesn't require that you do art of your horse constantly or anything, it's just so that you can be creative and come up with a unique horse

Sorry if this is a bother, I just can't think of any other way to get it out there, as I don't have many watchers.

Thank you for your comments on my Journal. You can see my facebook page at www.facebook.com/capturedinpencil.
If you havent already done so, you need to get out there locally. Its good to focus on one subject, as you have with the equine world, so focus on getting some posters up at your local vets, stables and horse training grounds. Pick a favorite drawing that demonstrates what you offer and have that on your poster.
Set up a Facebook page (not a personal profile) for people to visit, and a website. The website needs to be simple and to the point. I use weebly, its easy to use and free!
If I could offer one bit of advise (or opinion) I think you need to have a clearer pricing structure. Saying you would 'like' to charge 'x' amount and it may cost 'y' doesnt sound too appealing if I was looking to get a commission done. Just a thought

So you're suggesting I shouldn't post my price at all? Β Or that I should lower it all together? Β Otherwise, I don't know what to charge.

Certianly not to lower it, you are very reasonable for what you offer. Again, it is just an opinion so I am by no means right, but my suggestion would be to have clearer pricing. Firstly, if I wanted you to draw my horse, I see you charge by the hour (or what you would "like to charge"), but there is no indication of how long a drawing would take. It also implies that the final cost could vary wildly depending on how long you spend on it.
I would strongly recommend a website (weebly is very easy to use and free). If someone is interested, they would like even just a rough idea of cost before they enquire. For example, if you were to price by size rather than by the hour, I would see what I would get for my money. It also shows that for a few pennies more I could get a larger size, and so might even spend a little more that intended.

Ooook now I get what you were saying. The 'like to charge' was written in a comment I think, and just insinuates I'd shoot for getting $10 an hour but the 8x10 is set for $65, no increasing if I go over 6 hours or anything. The 'prices start at $65 means, the next paper size up is like $85, and so on. But I get what you mean it does seems like it says prices are subject to change. I was wondering if I shouldn't take that bit off completely and just gave people inquire about the price.
Anyway, thanks for chasing with me about this, I'm literally just getting started and have no outside input yet so I love your feedback!

No problem. Everyones got to start somewhere and you'll find lots of helpful artists on this site willing to give advice and pointers

Thanks for the advice! I was just at the local fair with some works and got to talk to a few people. Though I need to do more off that I know. Facebook page is up, need to do a website, poster and cards. Long way to go still!
