Advise on pricing my work

[u/Zwitter_Draws]

Hello! A few months ago many authors started to be interesed on my art for their covers and merch. I didnt had any experience in that field at that time so I gave pretty accesible prices.

Maybe TOO accesible I am affraid, now I am getting more requests than I am able to manage to take, so I am considering to raise my prices but I am not sure if it's apropiate and I don't have any other place to ask 😅

Currently I am charging $440 usd for the bigger pack that I offer (it's a full cover desing, an art piece that can be used for page inserts or art prints and a bookmark desing, both sides) and it takes me 24 whole hours to complete, divided in several days ( I got the exact time info from ClipStudio Paint). The price also includes commercial licence for everything, printing files, editable files and mockups.

The illustrations are 100% digitaly hand drawn.

For the full cover alone I Charge $220

The front cover $150 (same with 2 characters illustrations)

And for the Bookmarks $30

I try to keep my prices low because I know getting money it's really difficult so I am worried to loose some clients because of that. But I am starting to feel exhausted already, and I am booked for like 2 months still 🫠

For you as an author $500 for the bigger pack will be affordable?? I am even thinking on making it $550

I have seen bookcovers alone (not hand drawn) go for $600 so I am not really sure about the pricing for this

Just a few notes before I go:

- The full pack pics were not allowed in the thread because of the level of nsfw they had, but I can show in private

- English it's not my first language, so if I don't make sense XD it's because of that

- I entered the book cover desing marked by accident 5 months ago, so I am super new in this space. I have been taking courses online but I don't have any career for it

- On the other hand I am an experienced digital artist that have been working as such for +7 years
