I would think the better portrait artists have quite a bit of networking, not a pyramid scheme, but the network of clients is how I am hoping to get my business. If I put a big ad in a magazine, or even give a percentage to an agent, I am reducing my profit. By giving it back to the charity I support and have given donations of gift certificates, or designed a logo, they are very eager to spread the word. Beats knocking on doors.
The small color sketch seems like the best idea. I am glad I am not the only who goes directly from chaos to masterpiece! That is reassuring.
