The FIRST job I got as a freelance artist. It required my purchasing acrylic paints, brushes, etc., and learning how to use them. The pen and ink drawing and the color were done on separate layers, then combined. I would guess that I earned about 50 cents/hour on this job, but ones first commercial job is critical to getting more. This was the cover of a marketing booklet used to introduce White's new color scheme on their products.
