Today, I finally finished a drawing that someone had asked and said they would pay me for. I worked on it for multiple hours and was very proud of it. When it came to discussing payment, I asked what his best offer was. A pack of cigarettes. FML

Please tell me you told him no, and went searching for a new buyer. Or at least keep it, you are proud of it after all!

Hate to say it, but YDI. Ask any artist that does commissions. I've done a couple myself in the past, you always get at least half the payment up front before you do the work.

Learn to negotiate payments before doing the work

If you're that proud of it just keep it and brag about how creative you are. ^_^

Always settle the price before you start. People don't appreciate what goes into creating art and graphic design.

You should have discussed payment, prior to putting forth all that effort, probably should have had them put a deposit down.
