Yep, I just responded to BCsven who had the same concern, usually this works for someone starting out, but I definitely upped my prices as I got more experience
One issue with my industry is that it's very easy to get into, so the job market tends to be saturated, but at the same time it's also easy to stand out once you've got the skills
As your experience goes up, also does your speed. And the overall quality of the result.
Yeah, as a new artist with a limited portfolio you usually have to undercharge. I worked for free a lot when I was just starting out, so that I could build a portfolio. But once you have one, you should increase your prices.
