Day 41 - Assigning Values

For the dino sketches to be viable, I need to assign value to them. It requires me to convert everything I put into them into money count. Receiving decided amounts will lead to validating of my self-worth and also my works.

The most straightforward one is: what is my hourly value? I have some idea of what my physical labour industry rates were from the nurseries.

What value do I put on my education, both formal and informal, where I learned art?

What value do I put on the extra work, is research time on par with drawing time, or at a different calculation?

Do the characters have an intrinsic value, not necessarily at a time conversion?

Will the value change again once I move away from pen and pencils to computer graphics?

Do I include cost of materials - paper and pen for now, but perhaps later other mediums?

Question I must ask the client is, are the characters a stand-alone or active in a scene? Background details will increase time spent doing them.

I found these tapping from Jen Ward's Jenuine Healing Sharing Circle to be relevant to the topic:

"I make space in the world for all souls to be loved and validated; in all moments"
"I remove all blockages to all souls being loved and validated; in all moments"
"I stretch the worlds capacity to love and validate all souls; in all moments"
"I make space in the world for ignorance and prejudice to be abolished; in all moments"
"I remove all blockages to ignorance and prejudice being abolished; in all moments"
"I stretch the worlds capacity to abolish ignorance and prejudice; in all moments"
"I make space in the world for all forms of abundance to be as valued as much as money; in all moments"
"I remove all blockages to all forms of abundance being as valued as money; in all moments"
"I stretch the worlds capacity to value all forms of abundance as much as money; in all moments"
"I make space in the world for nature to be loved and cultivated; in all moments"
"I remove all blockages to nature to be loved and cultivated; in all moments"
"I stretch the worlds capacity to love and cultivate Nature; in all moments"
"I make space in the world for ignorance and prejudice to be abolished; in all moments"
