That's only with the artist's agreement though isn't it? Usually because you're paying them. In this case the artist isn't a person so can't grant you the copyright (I think)

Yes, in practice this would be a contract with the artist deciding whether the copyright is transferred or not.

Because by default, if you commission someone to draw something for you, they keep the copyright.
