Let me answer both of your questions...
Here is a non-affiliate link on Amazon...

I feel like how to figure out how to price your work should be the first thing they talk about in art school. But here's some resources to help you determine your own price. Don't undersell yourself! Artwork is valuable!
Get a copy of the Graphic Artist's Guild Pricing and Ethical Guidelines
handbook. It has a large section on going rates for all kinds of work.
and the Childrens Writers and Illustration Market Guide specifically for children's book work.
and also Check out the Freelancers Bible for all kinds of other freelancing resources.
Thanks! These are all done digitally in procreate. I built a custom toned paper texture and I use a combination of the fine point Ink brush and the technical pen brush, as well as the “water” brushes for washes. With the Apple Pencil on the iPad Pro the physical techniques are pretty similar to traditional media... well as similar as they can be without actually being wet.
Edit: if I was going to replicate it with physical media I would use these inks:

Hey there. I think the shading could be simplified in its shapes, and also direction. Right now you have the highlights indicating the light is coming from all sorts of places: underneath her (arms) Front right (chest and legs), upper right (face and hair). Make sure you know exactly where your light source is and how it will hit her body.
The shadows also don't seem to make sense- they aren't conforming to the body shape and they don't reach the edge or wrap her form, so they just read as floating shapes.
It's a good start but I think you may want to take it back a step and really plot out/block out where everything is going to be in shadow and light. Also, this book is the best http://www.amazon.com/Color-Light-Guide-Realist-Painter/dp/0740797719/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427037249&sr=8-1&keywords=color+and+light
IMHO one of the greatest artists of our time. Building Stories is a masterpiece.
I've only ever animated one thing, but it was way easier than I thought it would be and fun. It was just that it took a couple hours to make a couple seconds of animation.
here it is. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=437082006340869&l=5956752619278683744
I had read the animators survival kit before I did it. It's by the guy who made who framed roger rabbit.

She illustrated all of the pieces herself, which took a couple of weeks. We had a great initial launch with a pre-sale campaign and now we sell a dozen or so per week via Amazon and her website.
It's called Astrology of Joy
Yes! It already is.
Thank you for your kind comment!

Got something like this for my classroom.
10/10 available for purchase on Amazon! (Am I allowed to share that?) 2 AM Angst
Artistic Anatomy by Dr.Paul Richer is what I learned from :)
I wish it were my work!
Here are a couple books that you might find handy.
Dream Worlds: Production Design for Animation
Creative Perspective for Artists and Illustrators
I found the pen itself with 2 refills for $11.20 on amazon : http://www.amazon.com/Pocket-Brush-Pen-1-Pkg-Black/dp/B002LJRKN8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408353644&sr=8-1&keywords=pentel+brush+pen

A set of 4 fo $2. The shipping cost is ridiculous but I'm sure you can find some in your local artstore.

Book this illustration is from: Esther the Wonder Pig
Is this what you mean?
Get this book and do all the assignments in it. Practice like crazy. If you want it you can do it. The idea of magical talent that you just have or don't have is silly. You just need passion and a hell of a lot of working time. It will hurt.
All of tech feels that way for everyone eventually. Before the internet we used to animate stuff in Macromedia Director because every serious business gave out presentation CD's at trade shows. Then the internet came around and prodigy wasn't fast enough for 600 megabyte movie files, which is seriously all the space you are ever going to need my 17-year-old self from the past is trying to remind me.
I don't know what existed before Director. Probably the solitary madness of nothing.
