Guess I shouldn't be surprised. I've never sold commissions on a site before, but of the friends/acquaintances I drew for when they asked for something, only 2 out of 11 people gave me anything in return. And one of the two kind of stopped giving equal return later.
nayrt I think a lot of people look at the talent side of drawing and don't see all the hard work, so I wonder if the people who didn't give you anything even realized how it could take effort from you to produce art.
You have a really good point. I do sometimes fall into the trap of thinking it gets much easier for more experienced artists too so a couple of the friends who didn't give in return even though they also draw a little probably thought it didn't take much effort for me. And didn't help I kind of tended to tell them don't expect it soon but end up giving them priority in the end.
