Default Honest Opinion

Ok, first, admin if I posted in wrong place, I apologize in advance. Ok some of you know my hubby draws. I decided ok lets sell some of his drawings that will give him a little cash for his art stuff.
Well recently someone (it doesnt matter who......) asked him to draw their dog. What we decided was...
$30 for the drawing
$5 shipping
or up to $45 for drawing in a matted frame (could be less depending on cost for frame & matting, in this case, I got the frame onsale for $6.50) plus $8 to $10 shipping.
We said it takes a couple of weeks, then we will send a picture of the drawing, if you like it then we will make the arrangements for payment and shipping.
Well hubby worked on this pic, we sent it and the party asked, well is he going to paint it? Cant it take up the whole page? I answered, this is a drawing, a sketch. Its penciled. Well they didnt bother to even say they were not interested they just didnt answer back.
So hubby figured ok, they dont want it, he would play with the colored pencils just for practice.
My question is: What do you all think? Are we asking too much? He puts in alot of hours on these drawings, I love em but I probably am not real objective. Anyway Im posting the first drawing, then his experiment with colored pencils. Let me know your opinions please both about the drawings and the prices. Thanks you guys, I appreciate your input
