Hello Reddit fans. Could you please tell me how you price your caricatures on the street, which would be described as live caricatures by many?

Here's the thing: I'm doing caricatures on the street but I don't have a vending license, rather I have a busting license so I can't really post a price. Rather, I just have a little sign that says, at this point anyway: "suggested donation: $25- $30. But then, my friends tell me that I am charging way too low. And, I've heard that you should start high and then start lowering until people are willing to pay. It takes me a half hour to do a good portrait with full color. I am not fast and I am just starting out but I do a thorough job and do my best. By the way I am in a tourist town in the interior of British Columbia Canada.

Also if you wouldn't mind please tell me what you charge for commissions that you would do in your studio from photos, or maybe some of you even do live sittings of people.

Im a learning CA and i'm having trouble with a big part of the profession, i am very colorblind. I do work / draw / paint in color but its very different working at home, checking colors with an app and taking my time. In person , on the fly it is very difficult for me to match colors.

I've been thinking of literally just asking people what they're wearing, what color is that? What color is your hair?

Do you think that'd be unprofessional?

Good day all, If you draw caricatures and live near Port Angela’s WA would you DM me? I’m looking to hire someone for a gig.
