I paint at home on canvas, have no idea where to start in digital world with it. Found your vid today, learning, liked, subbed, and thanks!

I started as a watercolor artist 30 years then Acrylics and 6 years ago bought an iPad pro bought the app Procreate and have been doing digital art because I paint a composition that I like on my iPad pro then I offer Giclee prints that I put on a flash drive go and get it printed. I sell alot of Giclee prints from my digital art. Digital is so vivid love the look!

Love the idea of having the creative process be an unlock that they get as part of their NFT purchase. I’m also blown away by the whole royalty component of it. That to me is such a game-changer. I have been in the art world as an artist, educator, exhibitor, and curator and really love how much control this whole process brings to the artist.
I’ve always been into digital/analog art and this NFT world is my idea of heaven in terms of creative possibilities.
This is such a great video!
Thank you so much for doing this. - Nathalie

This is interesting. I have a large catalogue of paintings left by my late grandfather when he passed away.. we have between 150 & 200 paintings, all original artwork, that he created in the latter stages of his life.

We have no experience in selling artwork and they’ve sat collecting dust for a number of years so far. I have been thinking about digitising and selling prints as a way to ease the process of selling the artwork (shipping physical artwork is expensive and packaging costs are expensive) and running limited prints of each.

I hadn’t considered NFT’s as a possibility, i know very little about the whole process but watching this has given me another option to think about.

Thanks :)

HI 3D Gladiator Please can you make a video for the paper generation telling us exactly how to convert an artwork into a format compatible with an NFT, ? ie which format, file size, vector or rastor etc do we need to make quality and up loadable files. (paper generation, at university we wrote essays with pens, paper and typex, did cut and paste with scissors, scalpels and spray mount!)

I am an artist with no idea or how or what an NFTs is as it relates my original artwork being transformed into digitized NFTs. However, I realize I have a lot more research to do but your video was explained in simple terms allowing me to grasp your "topic" and I appreciate your careful walk through this process. At least now I almost understand what I am required to do and have a "point of reference" if I pursue turning my own original artwork into NFTs. As a "novice", thank you for the simplicity of your explanation for a beginner.

Hi 3D Gladiator. Thank you for the informative video on how to turn works of art into an NFT. My son is an artist who has many paintings and sculptures but is still adamant about entering the digital market with his works. With the illustrations you have shared, I believe he is now willing and ready to venture into the NFT world, so we are very grateful for your contribution.

I have recently gotten into NFTs and I watched a lot of videos about them and this is exactly what i needed! Thanks 🤗

Option 4 is exactly what I do. My physical paintings often get altered/enhanced a bit digitally. So they are two different pieces of art in the end.

[SilverTemples]

Decided to try myself out in the movement. Not really to get rich or anything. But because - as I believe - a modern artist needs to embrace the unknown and explore the frontier with his art. My current plan is to turn my paintings into looped animations with limited editions. And then the there's going to be a unique one-of-a-kind version of a nifty which is going to come with a physical painting to the first NFT buyer. Exciting times

EDIT: I've finally created my first ever NFT! Gas cost about 7 USD + 33 USD. Monday night.

Great info. Thank you. I am still amazed on the profound structural changes that are happening right now. I understand that is a paradigm change on the way we can understand art. But I feel that NFTs are still not yet developed enough to make me fall in love with the art pieces. My feeling Is that the actual art world Is so much bigger to fit into an NFT. Lets see what can we do as artists with this new technology. Great videos! Keep going 🧡

Unless I am living on a different planet for physical items like painting or sculpture most people would want to physically own them and its NFT which proves ownership. But then the question I have is how do you handle forgeries? Do you need an oracle that verifies authenticity? And how do you handle transfer when you sell physical item (with its NFT)? NFT transfer is automatic but with physical items transfer might need to verified against forgeries - how do you solve that problem? Oracles?

[IanKorman]

I have been watching many NFT videos that are available. Your videos are by far the best. Keep up the great work.

[HABiTS_gg]

Just found this and its a great breakdown for a physical artist looking to enter the nft space. Thanks!

[yinshanchee]

Thanks so much for your video. Very informative. Sorry I have a little confusion. Could I sell my original painting and NFT separately or I am not allowed to. Ie. Sell the original artwork on a different platform. I had a client whp express interest in my painting and then said he would prefer nft if I do them. So I had said sure I'll mint it. I wasnt sure does that mean I will need to destroy the masterpiece or I could sell it?

I have just finished working on 12 unique pieces of artwork on a large canvas. I started last year during the lockdown and did not begin with a business perspective. I just painted for leisure & fun. Each of the pieces of artwork connects to one another with an interesting story. Well, recently I took high-res photographs of each of the artworks and turned them into Vector files with the proper color correction. It all turned out to be perfect, looking absolutely gorgeous and vibrant on the computer with an unlimited zoomable option.
Alright, so now I wish to list a few of my works as NFT. My question is, should I mint the high-res photos of the artwork or the digital images which I vectorized? What seems more feasible?
Kindly reply, thanks.

[dbwoodcraft]

Cool video & very informative. So, does this mean (as a Chainsaw Artist) that I could create a carving/sculpture and then digitise it and then sell as an NFT? Could a time lapse video of me carving the piece be classified as "digitised"?

[aljoschakaramasov]

I really struggle with the concept of destroying the art work. Art is primarily rather something to take visually notice of and enjoying its beauty than something which is only hidden on a blockchain and never seen. Art is more seeing than having. I would like to see my new original physical painting hanging on my wall and I want be sure that it is an original one. I` am looking for an easy way to do the originality verification and documentation of the art work in combination with the creation of an NFT as a digital representation of the genuine Art Work. Do you have some proposals on that ?

[codelucky]

This video was definitely helpful, thank you for creating it.

[IndependentThinkerGOAT]

So one way to create an NFT out of a physical painting is to simply take a picture of it? Nice
video btw.
