Art from 2016 through current. These are my "realistic" portraits while the "cartoon" aka selection tool art is in the second post. All realistic portraits were drawn in photoshop CC on a computer, while the cartoon ones were all drawn on an iPad. Realism: (not in order) Kinda picture heavy? 16 images.

Tbh I looked at some of these pictures and literally wondered if they were photos or just digital art. You are just that good :3

Woah! As I slowly scrolled down, my eyes just kept getting wider and wider. This is really amazing! Some are so realistic, they could easily be mistaken as a real photo! Haha, wow.

your art is lovely. i love the way you do the fur and lighting. i especially love that russet cat in your second to last in your realistic drawings. i'm going to guess that you were going for a somali, maybe? o:

Thank you so much. <3 And yes, that's a Somali. I was originally going to draw an abysinnian but I had already drawn one before so I wanted to do something at least slightly different.

I really wish you took requests.... I am still in awe of your work. How old are you, if I may ask?

Wait, you said you do paid commission request thingies... How much do you charge? And do you have an Etsy shop or something?

Thank you! I'm 17. I charge $25 for a portrait with a simple background. I don't have etsy, usually people contact me through Instagram or email and they pay through PayPal. I understand if you can't afford that amount though, I just really can't charge any less because I'm already making less than $3 an hour.

And you can charge wayyy more than just $25. But as soon as I get a new job, I am 100% buying from you.

Haha, thank you both. Half of the people (mostly other artists) tell me I should charge more but most of my customers are non-artists and I actually get told $25 is too much. It doesn't help that a lot of the people that say that assume my art is just a photomanipulation. As soon as they hear the word "digital" they're suddenly not interested anymore, even if they liked the portraits before. Instagram isn't the ideal place to sell but I do get a decent amount of commissioners, which I would never get on dA. I get DM's all the time with people saying "your art is so good but I'm not interested in purchasing one, so do you think you can draw one for me for free?" It's kind of insulting, actually.
And the latest trend is people actually editing photos just with a simple water color effect, then adding some edited flowers/plants and selling it for $90 as a digital watercolor portrait. And they do sell them as real drawings and won't mention that they're edited.

I hate people like that. Like, I honestly feel bad requesting art or graphics on here and the old forums because I was just getting them for free. I really wanted to pay them. And imo, digital art is better than painting. I feel like it take more time and seems a lot harder. But you should really get an Etsy. You's make good money from there.

For example, with this one, it looks soooo real, as if it was just photography. You're amazing.

But one last thing, and then I'll stop annoying you; You are going to make a very good career for yourself. There are so many people who are so obsessed with their pets that they want realistic portraits of them. (just charge more )

Thank you so much! I think traditional art and digital both have things that are easier or more difficult than the other. So it really comes down to personal preference. I may raise my prices eventually, but until I get a website set up I'll probably have to stick with my current prices.

Theanimalark is my main account but I usually sell portraits through my art account, @artistic.catgeek I also forgot to mention I currently have a giveaway I'm doing to win a free portrait.
