How do I charge someone for 20% of the total invoice amount?

Hello, I am a Pet Portrait artist and require a 20% deposit from my customers to secure their commission. I am looking for a way to send  my customers a request for the initial 20% payment of the overall invoice. Then I can request the remaining 80% upon completion of their painting. At the moment I am sending two separate invoices, but it is getting confusing when I have a few on the go. 

 

I did notice the deposit function can be added to the invoice, but this appeared to deduct the deposit amount from the invoice. Rather than charge the customer the deposit amount.
