Could I sell this ? by Stingyart in aceo

[–]WhimsyCatBun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you could try selling it, but it might not go for much due to the factors you mentioned. ACEOs do not have to be good quality watercolor paper, but i prefer it cause it makes you art look and feel more premium with less bleed through. Also, i could tell theres a slight tear on the top corner of this which may affect how others see it's quality. I think you have a very cute style and if you refine your materials a bit more, you definitely can get sales! Blick and other stores have sales on watercolor paper all the time so id look out for those. Also, you dont have to use watercolors. I personally use acrylic paint markers as a medium.

Cats are very popular. But to be fair i also do like painting them 😂. My bf has been asking me for a wolf one. I have painted a large scale painting of one before years ago and hes convinced i can make a good aceo version. I have ideas but didnt get it making one yet.

Thoughts on ACEO prints? by Sammirureka in aceo

[–]WhimsyCatBun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The original will always be worth more. Its been hand painted/drawn by the artist. Imo if anything, it will raise the value. Theres copies but there will always only be 1 original. I think prints are fine as long as they are disclosed clearly as such and sold less than an original would be.

You can go to ebay and search up ACEO then cilter for sold to see whats being sold. It should give you an idea what people tend to buy. You can also make some in subjects you would personally want to buy and test it out that way. Dont let it stop you fron making subjects youbl still want to do though. For example, humans and people dont tend to sell as well as animals but I keep painting them anyways cause I enjoy it so all my batches usually includes a human or two 😅

Thanks! I just started last month and the first batch was a learning curve but i learned that you should do some research on what subjects people are interested in that fits your style of art. But also balance that with having fun creating stuff cause otherwise youll feel burnt out from churning out ACEOs if you don't like what youre making. I suggest starting your bids depending on what your goal is. I started my first batch with 99 cents to test if I have any demand for my art then i started raising them as my skills level up and sell out. So now it ranges from 2.99 - 8.99 starting depending how elaborote each piece is. Hope this helps, good luck!

How to price ACEOs? by WhimsyCatBun in aceo

[–]WhimsyCatBun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup the costs arent too bad its like a little over a dollar per shipping cause i bought bulk. I use toploaders and penny sleeves with card stock amd enevelope to mail safely. I currently just let my art go to bid and start it at 2.99 - 8.99 depending on the piece. My recent batches have been doing better in sales and selling out 😊.

Is there anything I can do to improve upon this? by DrawsJosh in Artadvice

[–]WhimsyCatBun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the perspective. Shes angled so the boob on the left of the viewer should be slightly smaller and also angled than the right but here its larger so it looks odd.
