Honestly, I usually don’t charge people just because I’m not confident in my artwork yet. However, once I get more experience I will start charging, because drawing stuff can take hours out of my days / weeks (and I have a life outside of all of this too 
). So when artists charge for their art, it makes sense. As long as I’m not paying over $50 for a headshot, there’s really no reason why I wouldn’t pay my artist. You know? While I get the appeal of free art, at some point it’s reasonable to start charging.
