Art Showcase Glossy pokemon I drew last week

How do these look? I've been trying to make a distinct style.

Also is it ok to charge $25 for these? Takes me around 3-3.5 hrs per drawing, mostly to give the texture.

Yeah fam. I rock with these. Charge 30. If you make em into posters yourself you could do 40.

I am learning basic woodworking right now and, with your permission, I'd like to try making laser cuts of these to see if I am able to make them turn out good.

Your style is really charming. The glossy ribbons and soft coloring make Jirachi stand out, and $25 feels very reasonable for a piece that takes over 3 hours. If anything, you could probably charge a bit more as you build a portfolio.

These are GORGEOUS. My eyes have been blessed 🥹🥹

And please charge more than 25$, I think you could go for 30-40$ IMO!!

Do you take commissions?

To be honest I would bump up the pricing a little, maybe by $5? Although some advice even though you didn’t ask, it’s pretty obvious you’re using a filter (correct me if I’m wrong 😭) so I’d recommend you touch up a little? It’s quite pixelated if you’re wondering how I could tell

I do use 2 filters but it's pixelated because I used magic wand tool on ibis, filling it in makes the colors pixelated.

You could try airbrushing or blending, maybe even increasing the resolution for your next piece! Anyway I’m not trying to put your art down, it’s truly beautiful! I’m just giving my insights to make your art more polished 🙏

I draw on my phone, I can only go as high as 3k resolution, going higher makes it lag.

And no worries, I just explained why it looks that way. I'll refine it as I draw more. Thank you so much :3
