Your love and passion for sketching can turn into a sustainable source of income! And we have the perfect shade of monetisation – workshops and courses!

There are so many people out there who want to learn how to sketch, and they would surely wanna learn from you!

So sharpen your graphite and charcoal pencils and let’s show you how!

But before that, let’s take a brief account of what’s happening in the world of art and how a sketch artist typically monetises, plus, what topics to start making content on!

Art in a post-pandemic world:

How is a sketch artist typically monetising?

The Traditional way:

 

Drawbacks of the traditional value chain:

This traditional approach seldom works for all sketch artists.

• This approach of monetising takes longer to achieve desired sales
• This usually works well for established sketch artists who already have acquired success and made quite a name for themselves.
• The number of artworks finally reaching the galleries is reduced considerably over a period of time.

All this calls for newer approaches and creative ways for artists to make money.

The modern way of monetising for a sketch artist:

Selling on Instagram

Instagram has become a sanctum for a sketch artist. Artists can easily showcase their artworks and reach their audiences through posts and Reels.

They can sell directly to the end user globally, thereby eliminating the need for middlemen and additional commissions.

The only drawback of selling on Instagram is that it doesn’t lead to results in a jiffy. If the sketch artist’s followers base is not very strong, conversion to sales will take time. Plus, one has to constantly create engaging content, and chase trends to stay relevant.

Applying for grants and competitions

Another way a sketch artist can make money is by applying for grants at international programs, NGOs, local communities, and more. Sometimes the grant money is quite substantial and offers great recognition to the selected artist/s.

There are many online and offline competitions and contests an artist can participate in.

The major downside of this form of income is that it is not constant or reliable.

Selling other merchandise with your art

In one of the most practical and low-investment set-ups, a sketch artist can put their artwork on tangible products and make money. Like souvenirs, canvas, bags, bottles, flasks, coasters, miniature art, jewellery, tables, 2D and 3D models, portraits, personalised gifts, and more.

Work on a commission-basis for original artwork

This is the way modern sketch artist is creating original artwork like paintings, miniature art, portraits, realistic drawings, artworks, and more.

This works quite well for both online and offline. One can easily highlight that their work is on a commission basis and create original content. People value original artwork.

The hassle of this method is the artist has to deal with customers directly, which may or may be a pleasant experience every time.

Pop-up selling at art fair, conventions or festivals or exhibitions

Art melas or fairs and conventions or exhibitions are quite popular and attract huge crowds. Artists can book and set up stalls and sell their handcrafted and produced artworks and crafts in person.

This is a great way for customers to see the value of artistic creation in person.

It can become physically taxing as it requires artists to be present behind the stall and constantly interact and entertain customers. And if fair or convention doesn’t get the required footfalls, the chances of selling become considerably low.
