Curate, connect, and discover
Hi!! I know that you're pretty experienced in taking / drawing commissions, and as an artist who wants to try doing that but has never attempted it before, would you have any advice?
Hii, I am quite flattered that you think I know what I am doing (which I don't really lol.)
What helped me not to feel overwhelmed at the beginning was to define what I was going to draw. This could mean, for example, that you only offer 1 HOUR Chibi Commissions, or pet portraits for the time being. But that's just my personal preference. (I am a bit anxious and the email traffic with customers is more limited if they know what to expect from you.) Also - GET PAID IN ADVANCE PLEASE! - (Some people will take your art and run)
I don't know if these are good advice but I hope I could help....
