What's a recommended pricing markup for original artwork?

A 250% markup is generally recommended for artwork pricing. Calculate what it cost you to create the piece (materials, time, overhead), then add 250% to that cost. This ensures you make sufficient profit from your work. For more detailed pricing strategies covering different scenarios and product types, consult comprehensive pricing guides that break down pricing for various formats.
