I charged $3 then - 30 years ago. My prices now are as follows:
Pencil (10 min.) $25
Charcoal (10 min.) $45
Pastel (20 min) $65
I charge per person, even if they are in the same sketch. Sometimes I will discount depending on the customer. I will try not to turn anyone away due to price. SO sometimes I dicker.
I tried to include a photo, but have had trouble uploading. I will try. I used the copper because it is easy to assemble, cheap and durable. The banner cloth comes factory hemmed. I can order it for you through my sign company (my trade during the week) if you like. It is not cheap. I could give you a quote. You cannot get it unless you are in the sign business. I bought the fixtures at Bi-Mart for $5 each, and hammered the clamps off and wired them in. It sets up in 1/2 hour, is lightweight and easy to store. I leave it up all week, and draw on the weekends. The frames are hinged at the corners with copper straps.
Please let me know if I can help you in any way!
I wish you well!
Lon
