It's not for you to decide copyright. This belongs to the artist. why should art be free?
Your example of an engineer does not compare to an illustrator. Most engineers have a regular job and the company they work for owns whatever they produce or design. Free lance artists earn their living by each job. They create something new constantly. This is their work. They create it and own it. if you want to use , you must pay. Would you do a free ad for Mcdonalds or Coke?
I think not!
