The only thing I could say is just make sure to be respectful. Also, if you can, try for a not shaded ref. A lot of artists won't work off of shaded refs, as it makes selecting colors from it harder.

 

The main thing to keep in mind if you commission, just be respectful ^^ 

thanks, i've heard about the shading thing before on an article but it's still nice to have it confirmed by other people. 

And I like to think i'm usually respectful, at least i've never tried to be disrespectful to someone I wanted to commission before.

Hello everyone. lately I've been looking to get a sheet done of my character (human, not a fursona if that makes any difference) and I've found a few artists that I would like to commission, but I have some anxiety about exactly how to go about doing it since I don't really have any experience commissioning them specifically. I also don't have any art of the oc in question but from what I've seen the artists seem like they wouldn't mind working off a description and some reference images. 

I have a notepad file with a description of them as well as reference pictures for their clothes and hairstyle etc. but I don't know if it's enough and as I said in the title, I would appreciate any advice for what I would need as well as anything else.
