How does an art commission work?

Outside here who loves art and wants to do something like that. If you could explain to me how it works--I will be so grateful!

Is it also the same for digital art as well?

Someone offers you money to do an artwork, whatever it may be. Most artists have representation eg a gallery or agent that handles all the negotiations for a fee or percentage.

There are several commission. 

If you’re the artist and someone commission you to do a painting, the commission is your salary.  It’s what you would get when you deliver the final product. 

If you’re the agent, it’s a cut of the pay. An artists has you as an agent. Your job is to help him find a n art gallery that will display his art. The gallery gives him 10000. You get a portion of that money. You might also get a cut for every piece sold if you include it in the contract.
