This article is to inform artists on how to deal with people requesting artwork for commercial uses, especially online. I’m far from being a professional (and please take everything I say with a grain of salt, and always do more research), the information in this is gathered from learning about business practices for illustrators, and experiences both personal and from friends. Recently, a couple of my artist friends finally resolved their problems regarding online employers, and so I’ve taken the time to compose something that is hopefully worth a read.
