Hi.

I am 13 and am thinking of starting a business with a main focus around saltwater aquarium fish, corals, and invertebrate art. If anyone is interested, below is some information on how I draw. I will put a sample of my artwork at the very bottom of this thread for whoever is interested.

%60 of my earnings would go to ocean conservation

My drawing style:

I like to make my art as realistic as I can

What do I draw with:

I've had the most practice with color pencils, pencil art, and watercolors, but I know how to paint if that is what you want.

Pricing:

Always negotiable. Most of my drawing are on 12x9 inch water color papers, which would be probably $25, but always depends on the picture itself. If you want a piece of artwork larger or smaller, just let me know and i'll change the size

What do I draw?

Let me know what you are interested in and I will tell you if i'll do it. I mainly focus on fish, corals, and inverts, but I could do a drawing of a whole tank, a drawing of the ocean, etc.

Shipping:

For shipping, if you pay over $50, it will be free shipping. If you pay less, depending on the size of the artwork, or the amount, there will be a shipping cost, probably of $3 or so.

Extra info

I don't have a website yet unfortunately, so if you have any questions just ask me here. If i decide to go along with this idea, I will have a website soon!

If you have any other questions, ask them either in the conversations or here in the thread.

If you want, I can add a background of the ocean for a little extra money.



This is a drawing I did today, it is the only drawing I have so far, but more is going to be made.

Tell you what. Let me think on it and I will commission you for a couple of pieces based on the simple fact that you are young, passionate, and actually wanting to work at such a young age.
I’ll send you a private message with a few conceptual ideas.

I have to jump on board here and have to support your ambitions @DweltAlloy033
My father worked in watercolor and when I was younger I enjoyed sketching with ink pens and colored pencils. I think it’s super cool you’re wanting to contribute to ocean conservation as well.

I would be interested in a snake drawing.
Snakes are my wifes hobby and she has been drawing since she was 4. She is into welding now.
I have a rainbow boa myself.
Here are 2 oil paintings she has done and a pencil drawing for some ideas, and a couple snakes.

I commend your ambition and second that I would be most willing to commission a piece from you.

I also applaud your desire to donate to worthy causes such as Ocean Conservation.

Here is what I propose. I believe many will agree... Life is hard. School is expensive. 20% for replacement art supplies. 80% towards your education.

Are you willing to submit a solid plan towards how you will accomplish this?

oh thanks!

My plan is to draw and sell my drawing while also contributing to conserving the worlds ocean, until I go to college. Then when I am out of college and have more time, I will continue to draw whenever I find the time, which I hope will be often ;). If I sell a few art pieces this year, next year I will sell my art at local farmers markets, and slowly go forwards.
