Need an Idea, I draw and love arts and crafts what can i do to make some extra cash?
I have 3 kids and I stay at home and i would like to make some extra cash with any skills that i have i draw very good actually I drew all my daughters and i love to do any arts n crafts but dont know what. Any Ideas.
Only serious answers no jokes pls dont waste my time or yours.
Can you draw a portrait from a photograph?
I ask because when I paint outside in public, I get asked this time after time. I don’t do it myself (well, haven’t in a long time), but people seem very interested. You would probably have to keep your prices fairly low, however, I’d say well under $100 if you’re talking about a pencil drawing. But if you’re fairly quick, this isn’t bad money.
Since you’re not on display painting in public, I’d suggest you make up some cards with one of the drawings of your daughter and post them in appropriate places.
However, I can tell you, nothing attracts attention like drawing or painting in public, especially if your drawing looks a lot like your subject. So, even better than posting cards around, would be drawing one of your daughters in public if both of you could stand that. If you’re in a place with a lot of traffic, you’ll be swamped with people asking if you do portraits.
Good luck!

If you have a portfolio of your work–shop it around to arts directors of magazines…and do some editorial illustration…pays well.
Do some mock illustrations for pre-existing stories to show case your skills at doing symbolic art…representational of the article…to show as samples.
