Should I try doing commissions?

So, I've been lobbing this over in my head this past week and was wondering, should I start doing commissions?

First off, I don't know if I'm good enough for that.
Second, I wouldn't know how much to charge people.
Third, I don't think my watch base is especially filled with the hardcore art collector/purchasing types who could afford to pay me for my work even if I was good enough and knew how much to charge.

On a different note, my dentist has commissioned me to draw a real life portrait (about 12x16 in. give or take) of her little girl and told me to think of a price. I don't know if I'm going to add color to it but let's just assume grayscale for now. How much do you think is reasonable to charge? I don't want to under or over charge her. I'd really appreciate the input.

your drawings are amazing! I like them so much!

^^; that's kind of what three of my most recent drawings were (minus me drawing my own gaia avatar. hehe.)

i don't usually do requests but my friend posted a journal to do free sketches and i thought it'd be fun to try too. they were supposed to be just simple sketches but somehow they turned into...well @.@ time consuming projects. haha.

thanks! :hug: but I think I'm not a really good artist... my drawings are not real enough! and I'm not able to draw many poses on my characters...
PS: I asked you if you'd like a request from me... I'm not sure I have understood if you want it or not... so, tell me^^
