How much does a drawing sell for?
When you set prices by the square inch, you first determine the total area of your drawing by multiplying its length by its width. Then multiply the area by a dollar amount of your choice. If you decide to charge $5 per square inch, the price for an 8×10 drawing would be $400 (8 x 10 = 80; 80 x 5 = 400.)
