Artists will usually advertise their commission information, which typically contains prices, speciality areas, samples, etc!. and people will contact them with their request, which they will do for money if they choose to take it up!. Commissions are not always drawings, and can range across many mediums- paintings, plushies, digital art and so forth!. Essentially it is paying an artist for their services!.

The deviantART aspect doesn't particularly change anything, but a lot of people advertise and do business through that website by placing their commission information in a journal or on the forum!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if you commission an artist you are paying them to make a drawing you requested!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
