DMAI Pro for Artwork sales & commissions
Painters, calligraphers, miniaturists, illustrators and muralists selling ready artworks, prints and commissions (portraits from photos, name/poem calligraphy, illustrations) on Instagram. Key questions: price by size and medium, original vs print, turnaround, reference photo, number of revisions, framing, and safe shipping of fragile or large work locally and abroad. Commission flow: brief → quote & deposit → sketch → execution → final photo → balance & shipping.
