I just drew up a good picture(color pencil) that I think's worth $10 or so. Where/how can I sell drawings?

Question

I live in Texas, is there a good place on where to sell stuff like that? Is there a place online? Thanks!

Answer 1

Your best bet would be looking up farmers markets, street fairs or local transportation hubs in your area. Create a whole slew of pictures and go sell them in person. If it is a fair you may need a permit, but you do not need to declare anything to the IRS if it is under $600 I beleive. Don't hold me to that.

Answer 2

Ebay! doesn't take much to start an account and when you list, list under Art - self representing artist. Your start out bid is what you want for your work. So if you think it is worth $10.00 Start it at $10.00. Or you can start it a $1.00 with a reserve of 10.00. That option is extra but well worth it. If no one reaches your reserve price, you don't have to sell it. Most auctions go for 7 days. Good luck

Answer 3

Accutually a good place to start might be an art show or fair. They will award you a place and usually give prize money. Also some art shows will allow you to list a price. You might thinks your picture is worth ten bucks but someone else might thinks its worth five hindred.

Answer 4

Coffee shops, dude. Most of the time, they are happy to have original art to display and won't take a commission like a gallery.

Answer 5

I have sold several drawings on ebay.com you can use a buy it now price or an auction format. they have a special catagory for self- represented artists and its fun! it doesn't cost alot either. try it.
