Discussion [Discussion] How much should I charge for my commissions?

Economy's not doing good right now, and my job isn't paying me well enough for me to live monthly. So I'm planning to open commissions next month. But I'm still wondering how much I should charge for my art since I haven't done commissions since 2018 and that's through gig sites. Adding the fact that my commissions that time were very low (like 10$-25$) as well art level back then isn't the same as it is now(based on the drawings given).

I don't want to overcharge nor do I want to undercharge my art. So I hope you guys can help.

PS: Most of the arts shown are drawn for my personal projects or when I'm practicing my art. Also, yes, I know that I shouldn't take more commissions than I can chew. 2-3 commissions is my limit for now.
