I ask for 1/3 non-refundable deposit up front, and 2/3 when the portrait is completed and approved by the client. But I make an exception to the "non-refundable" part if and only if "the artist is unable to complete the portrait due to illness or death." It sounds dramatic but it does give the client the feeling that I'm not about to abscond with their money.
