i really do not know

As long as you're still drawing art for yourself, you could still be considered a hobby artist.

hmm good question i guess not unless its just for support/motivation for the artist or something.

... Art is a hobby to me when I'm drawing for myself, but I plan to make it a job too so I think it's okay to say it goes both ways.

it depends on how much you are making and your state laws.

well its a obby in the side that makes a little cash, so yea
its not like you LIVE off of it, if its just for spending money i think it's still a hobby

I think you're still a hobby artist if you take POINT commissions but if you take money and use it as your main source I don't think your a hobby artist.

I consider myself a hobby artist, even though I occasionally sell pictures to my classmates for a few dollars.

I'd say, amateur ... commission ... artist?
My father has sold paintings but he's not particularly well-known ...
I never sold art in my life but I don't feel that selling a work or two would mean much in means of accomplishment. So far I've drawn for myself and I'd do commissions if I felt like it.

I think it would all depend on how the artist who is doing commissions looks at it.
A lot of artist who do commissions regularly, I would consider no longer a hobby-artist.
I still consider myself a hobby-artist even though I do commissions cause of the sole fact that I am not as good as a professional.
