I have always debated myself on this question, how much is a colored pencil drawing worth? I cannot find any real source of information on how much colored pencil drawings should sell for. I have been lucky enough to sell some of my works, but most are to family or to friends of a member of my family. So I am not sure if that is a legitimate scale to go off of or not.
Does one price pieces according to how good they are? If one is better than the one before it that sold for a lot, should that one be more? Or do you just sell it for bottom dollar prices just so you can make more and get rid of the old ones?
I have been blessed enough to sell four of my drawings as some may already know. I sold one for $295 at a church charity auction, I sold another similar one at $370 with the frame the next year from the person that did not get the one from the auction the year before. Then I sold two different ones individually to a family friend for $80 and $200 respectively. That is about it.
So what is your opinion, how should colored pencil drawings be priced? Because no offense to painters, but painters of portraits, that are more abstract and not as good technically go for hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and I have the poor of that. Or does one just have to accept that colored pencil work is considered less professional and more amateur and just take the hit and keep the price in the low hundreds if that and be happy at that.

Being Photo Dependent
I have always been kind of torn with portrait drawing, because to me it always depends on the photo and what you are drawing and not always how good you can draw. Meaning one has a little less control over it because even if it turns out good, really all one can say is that it was a great reference to go off of. And really it was and ones love or appreciation for the image you see is why it turned out so good to begin with, or at least that is what happens with me.

Your Forgotten Favorites on Coloredpencilartists 3
Back for another run at it, 3rd time with your forgotten favorites. I know with everyone's busy schedules, few have time to look at art, much less create art. But I thought it would be worth while for members to bring up favorite pieces others have done in this group
Looking back into all of our galleries, these are some of my favorites from other the years.
