So a friend of mine is really really good at drawing and painting, although he would much rather prefer to paint. But he had me sset up a small facebook group where he could display some of his art. He says it's hard to sell, but if I were him I would get it out there, which apparently he is shy about. Not sure why because he is a genius when it comes to art from the little I have seen.

Can he do some caricature? He can try creating a Facebook fan page, invite people to like that page so they get updated when there's a new post there, and then try posting some caricature samples. People love caricature of themselves, some of the followers might a job order. I know a friend who do just like that and he's doing well on Facebook.

i would try etsy or at least take a look at it. it doesnt cost much to list your art but more people will see it.

Its better to sell the products that you made...The painting would be good and can make good money...He can join some picture uploading sites where when the pics are downloaded or purchased,the member gets the money..Or Can start your own store where you can sell art online...There are lots of free online stores...This can help him...
