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.
Best of luck! Hope you do well. What kind of art do you create? Where can we see it? These are strange times for all of us so (as most artists are already strange (speaking for myself here)) we should fit right in & go with the (modernised) flow & learn with the curve....if you know what I mean! Anyhoo! Best of luck.
I want to put my own paintings on NFT, but the tutorials are just to digital art ( or how to digital your own art) how do we add our own paintings in openSean to the market? do you know the steps??? I just downloaded a Picture of my work :)
Same boat I love the idea of my pieces being "tools" to create master nft allowing me to keep my tools.....I also like the idea of giving the option to the buyer...... interesting..... what it does do for us old-school brush painters is a viable way to self leverage our art!
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!
@@sonnygemini7471 you can take a very high quality picture of the canvas. When I say high quality, I mean professional photographer with professional equipment. Today I was talking with a professional photographer exactly about this and she said that a picture is much over the scan as quality. I was surprised and in my ignorance I asked "really? I didn't know that" and she said "I don't take make the photography with my phone". I felt a little embarrased since we were talking in her professional studio 😅 I was there to ask for a scan on my canvas because it is bigger than A3 format.
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
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.
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 :)
I’m a artist who has 3 paintings in 3 different ways to post #nft ... My unique aspect is to have actual painting , signed and numbered prints , and stickers ......
Can you post your link to see how you are offering this? So you will send the actual physical painting with NFT and then you reserve rights to reprint ( not the owner of original) just wondering how this is presented on their sites
The bottom line here is the younger generations view things on the internet as real property. This is a concept the older generations have a hard time grasping. As time moves forward though, NFTs and other digital assets will grow tremendously. Just wait till Mixed Reality and Virtual Reality kick in with these NFTs. There will be a day where you walk into your friend's real home and see digital artwork around the house.
Now I can stop beating myself up for letting my son spend so much time on the computer when he was younger, lol. He's been creating digital art for years. As a crypto enthusiast, I was super excited when I learned about NFTs and told my son about it right away. :)
I have a question 🙂 I have a collection of PokeMon cards from more than 20 years ago I bought for my son and he didn’t want them anymore so I have kept them thinking they may have value someday. I have quite a few Holo cards in pretty good condition for not being left in a sealed pack. Can I digitize these cards and have them minted and sell them? Thank you for your time- You seemed like someone who may know the answer.
Well, I'm a millennial and I have a hard time grasping this NFT concept. Older, physical goods, especially in art, tend to have more value anyway. If somehow this blockchain encryption technology is compromised, people will lose so much money, it will be ridiculous. How do they even display these things anyway, a million dollar gif, png?
@@1murkeybadmayn The technology for displaying this art through Digital Picture Frames, Virtual Reality, and Mixed Reality already exists. It's just a matter of app development really. Also, it is far more likely that someone can steal the real Mona Lisa than the blockchain being compromised. It would require such a large effort to do so it would outweigh the value of the hack. This is why blockchain is so safe.
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!)
It's funny I was just laughing at two older people in my organization that still couldn't still figure out how to use zoom. And then I immediately feel like I am the old person in the room when I try to figure out this stuff. I don't get it, I don't think my brain is capable of getting it, and I have a doctorate. If you can come up with a business that simplifies this process you are going to make a lot of money and I would invest in it.
Thanks for watching and your comment Craig. Of course your brain is pefectly capable of getting this! 😀 What's probably missing is a basic understanding of blockchain technology, consensus algorithm, peer to peer networks and cryptography. But you are not alone. Most people have no idea what's going on under the hood. Maybe I will address this in future videos. Thanks, Ben
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 appreciate your series on NFT's. As a mainly traditional painter, I thought that it would be problematic if an NFT of my painting was selling for way more than the traditional version of the same piece. Definitely a lot to think about.
You could always just add the Digital NFT as part of the package when someone buys your physical paintings. This way they get both and if they sell the digital version then it's on them and you still make a profit from it anytime the digital version is sold. Look at it as a Digital Anchor for your physical art that ties it to the virtual world.
Hey. I have similar issues. I'm a traditional painter too. Of course it is possible to sell a NFT and then physically mail them the painting. If the painting sells for enough you can do this easily. Personally I was thinking to simply take a good pic of a painting, then alter it in photoshop and make it animated slightly (that's about 5-10 frames set on repeat) then sell it as an animated NFT. That way it can keep the "original status", while securing your painting for sale elsewhere. You don't want to be in a dilemma where you sell your NFT of your painting as "a single work" only, then when you sell the original painting get approached by someone stating they technically own the painting (since they bought it as an NFT). Better to alter the original piece somehow, then make an NFT of it.
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?
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 🧡
Thanks for watching! I totally agree with everything in your comment. The NFT space is the Wild West in crypto at the moment. Many issues are unclear and not solved yet. I think it's up to us to turn it into something sustainable.
@@3DGladiator Definitely..! this is just an open bridge to explore the very meaning of art in this age, and find the intelligence of what we do with the new way of perceiving everything. Thank you for your dedication..!
@@3DGladiator So if I want to sell a physical painting including the digital version of it as an NFT, which platform would be the best for that? If somebody is buying the physical painting he/she will get the NFT for free but must be able to 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.
@@digitaldirk7282 I'm so done with NFT 😖 and unnecessary processing fees. It's better to invest time in building online businesses, one or two would make it and has relatively more chances.
You are referring to the Gas Fees for the transaction necessary to mint on to the blockchain ? And I take it that it has been Ethereum ….very costly ! That’s all going to change soon . The Tech is improving on other Blockchains like Cardano and Polka Dot . Cheaper and more user friendly I imagine . What type of online businesses are you into to / referring to ?
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?
Very good video. How does copyright work with NFT’s. Can the artist still retain the copyright to their art works. If you have an original digital art work as an NFT does that mean you can’t reproduce the same image as a print using a print on demand service?
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 ?
Thats why the metaverse was created. So you can showcase your digital art when you are in it. This world will cease to exist, we are creating another world inside of this. The Devil told me this.
This is a window opening into a previously unknown world. Having spent 20 years fashioning wood, metal and fabric by hand into Helena, I was buoyed up when sailing her into Greek island harbours to hear onlookers describe my creation as the most beautiful object they had seen. Her personified spirit is enshrined in a primitive portrait of Helen of Troy, painted by Elaine my wife. Fixed to the main bulkhead. her incisive countenance observes all who step on board. I am considering revisiting this process anew and wish to offer Helena as an NFT. Could this become a possibility?
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"?
Thanks for your question Derek! You could turn an image of the sculpture into an NFT, but you could also 3d-scan the sculpture and turn the file into an NFT. Either way, you can always record the carving process and add it as unlockable content. Recording the process is a good idea as it proofs that you are the actual creator of the artwork.
@@3DGladiator thank you, very much for the reply. I'm not sure there would be much of an interest in chainsaw carving/sculpture in the NFT/CRYPTO world but you never know. Now I just need to figure out my best option for 3D-ing my image from a smartphone to a very limited laptop or how I go about it even...."Hey Google!....."🤣
Thanks for this video man, as an art enthusiast, knowing NFT exist gives me hope that I can make money by doing art. And I bumped to one of the best NFT project- The Pop Cult. They got insanely good arts and if youre an artist they might consider your artworks.
Maybe I'm just an analog chauvinist, but I would never buy the NFT and not also the original physical work. Since forgery is such a big issue in the art market, an NFT is a great way to authenticate the physical work and keep track of the historical transactions. My only question is if I want to link the NFT to the physical work as a single entity, does there need to be a secret cryptography key embedded in the physical artwork itself that links it to the NFT?
My understanding is that the nft only contains meta data like name of artist piece number in series. Thank of it as a certificate but it lives on the block chain. It will be interesting if the 2 get sperated how that would shake out if some one else has the key and some one else the art.
How does the shipping of the physical object work? I understand the contract concept of the blockchain, but then who sets the shipping cost, who verifies that the object was delivered etc
Shipping is difficult. The truth is, most collectors are not interested in the physical piece. If there is one, then great, if there is none, it's great too as you don't have to deal with it when reselling the token in the future. Beeple sent physical tokens to the buyers of his NFTs when this all started and collectors loved it. I'm not sure though how they deal with the physical thing when they sell the token. If I would buy one of these NFTs, I would try to get in touch with the previous owner and make sure to receive the box too. niftygateway.com/itemdetail/primary/0x6e5dc5405baefb8c0166bcc78d2692777f2cbffb/21 Best, Ben
Great video!!! I am a visual artist learning about nfts now. Where would you suggest I go next to learn. I do have basic understanding, a wallet, have started on opensea to mint but havent yet. I get offers from buyers to buy my work as nft's but I'm very wary dt scams etc.
Do you have a more updated and expand video on this subject? I expected more "how to" stuff... steps to follow, things to avoid, what kind of gate keepers there may be, and if there are blocks or gate keepers, how to get around them. To me THIS is the subject. I enjoyed the video, but didn't really learn much. That's not a ding on you, but just factually how I perceived the video. In any event, thanks for the effort.
Just uploaded a video that might answer some of your questions recently. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/z2snYUL_uRU/видео.html Thanks for watching. Best, Ben
Hey as you said you will answer all questions...so here i am...my daughter aged 7 is a cartoonist and everyday she draws awesome cartoon drawings which are really interesting to look at...can i digitalize them and create an nft for display...please tell me
I have some oil paintings that have been in my family’s possession since it was bought in the 1960's. We do not know who the artist is. It was bought at a prison shop. So the artist was obviously a prisoner. Can it be turned into a NFT? Also, I was told that one has to scan in the oil painting and not simply take a photograph of it. Is this true? Although old, these oil painting are in mint condition. I am afraid that scanning might damage it. Also, are there any technical specifications on how big the digital artwork should be? Any advice would be welcome.
This is amazing.. the interpretation of value and ownership is changing right before our eyes. I create reproductions if originals through printing but I also paint over the reproductions to make them look and feel like an original. Based on these new definitions, I think I create another original when I alter the reproduction. Does this change the status for claiming what's original or a print for tangible paintings too? So the token stores the value and the value can be sold or traded? So the future of art is projections of art pieces onto somebody's wall instead of having the tangible piece..
02:55 Dude, totally love how you give awareness, this true, the change is about to come we have to pack our backs and get ready! 04:38 - Wow man! so cruel ! XD - Also recording destorying process as a prove and Locked content is are amazing ideas! Thanks for all useful infos you get us! very cool of you. 👍👍
So if I do the original drawing as pencil on paper, scan that into the computer, then ink and color it digitally, would the digital version be considered the finished artwork? Or would the physical drawing and the digital drawing be considered two separate works?
If I choose to sell a physical version separate from the NFT, should I state precisely what I am doing in the description of the NFT? Typically, with my physical works, I am bound to the the limitations I set forth in my Certificate of Authenticity, but I am not seeing these boundaries stated clearly with NFT's.
Thank you for a wonderful video. You mentioned that not all of the problems are solved yet in NFTs. What are the problems that are still really pain points ..
Great information and I thank you so much for making this video! I do have a question. If your work is on paper done with markers pens oil paintings whatever… It has to get into the computer somehow. I have a reasonably nice scanner on my printer. When I scan a product in what settings should I use? A piece that I read regarding this said "it is strongly recommended to generate the NFT markers with an optimal resolution and size: a total size in pixels base x height between 3,300,000 to 3,500,000 pixels and DPI of at least 200 to 300." I am not sure how to achieve that. Do you have a guideline that can help me?
Thanks for watching and your question Maggie. I would scan it with high, or even the highest settings available. This usually means cranking up the DPI value as high as supported by your device. This results in large files, but preserves all the details. Things like cropping and color correction are done in Photoshop later on. When you tokenize your work, you are usually limited to certain file size, set by the marketplace you mint and list the NFT. For this reason, it makes sense to include a highres version of the image as unlockable content for instance. This way the buyer get access to the high-resolution artwork after purchasing. I hope this answers your question. Best, Ben
not sure if galerys are gona disapear. even tho I like the idea of NFTs, there are artworks that can't be digitalised, works that include multiple layers to experience for example. also visiting a galary is an experience that can't be replicated on a screen.
I'm associating the term "gallery" more with an institution that acts as the intermediary between the artist and the collector/buyer. Museums and exhibitions will never go away of course. Some of them will take place in the Metaverse in the future though.
Square is usually better as you can use more of the available display space, but every other format works as well. Don't let your creativity be limited by marketplace specifications.
Artists in general don't get any well deserved credit or pay for their work. It doesn't matter if you're a digital artist or traditional. The more power we have over our work the better.
Hi, Quick question. My father in law has a physical painting from 1800 which was apparently painted by someone close to Picasso. Can I digitize this image and upload it as an NFT? If so how would I digitize it? can I just take a picture and upload it or do I need to convert it into an anime picture? Thanks for sharing all these great videos with us.
I am an art collector as well digital art creator. I have two pieces in my personal collection from the 60’s and both are unsigned and the artist is unknown. Can these be converted to NFT’s? I would love some feedback
Best video online about this!! I have a few paintings I bought from an artist back in the day... can I sell it as an owner and not as an artist? Thanks
I have a question regarding to your previous video: When people buy "Leaving Aracadia" you posted on Rarible, the authentic one-of-a-kind NFT that people buy and trade is the Jpeg and not the Tiff file?? It sounds counter-intuitive that the low-res image is more valuable than the hi-res image you unlock as an bonus.
hi - do i understand you can use existing paintings of ‘other’ artists and digitally ‘change’ it with layers, colors, adding images, …. For example the picasso bull?
I would say no. But there is quite a bit of room for an artistic interpretation of another artist's work. Copying without adding your creative twist is probably not a good idea.
Interesting to see options you propose for physical works, thank you. Is there an option to mint nfts for other artists work on your profile as well as your own work. I have been looking for examples of this but not yet found any
I want to use an app to alter my art then print off these 3D images to sell as NFT's. I want to keep my art to use on future projects, just not sure where to sell, or how to sell.
Thank you very much. Can you please make a video on explaining the complete process of how to put a physical painting on NFT and auction and sell it. I am looking for the complete easy process. I am from India. Suppose, I wanna sell one of my physical painting, how would I do it through NFT, and how would the complete process of reaching the painting from artist to buyer living in anywhere in the world happen? Please make a video on this. That would be very helpful for artists who don't know anything about these crypto things and want to adapt to new system and make money by selling their peerless arts. Thanks :)
Question. I own physical art by some artists. Just because I own it, does that mean I could digitize it and resell it? That seems like stealing someone else's work or violating a copyright. Thoughts on this?
Thanks for your question. If possible, I would try to get the artist on board when turning his work into a NFT. This not only helps promoting it, but it also makes the whole endeavor more legit regarding additional NFTs that come from the same artist in the future. This is only possible if the artist is still alive of course.
@3D Gladiator My brother created amazing physical art with details in electronic circuit inspiration. My question is this: I have an art print e-commerce store, and we copied and printed out some editions. Can I use the original art drawing and make into an NFT for niftygateways for example, and still continuing printing out the editions for sale in my shop with the digital copy that I had in the beginning?
I have one more question! If we can create NFT's basically from anything, all we need to do is digitalize an image/object/sculpture etc... What prevents me from making an NFT out of an already existing one? IE: I buy a NFT, put it up on my tv or print it out, and then digitalize by taking a photo of that copy and make an NFT out of it. Is there anything that prevents copy's being turned in to NFT's?
@@3DGladiator I see... But I'm sure that there are a lot of people in it only for the money and there are going to be copy's moving around to sell to the untrained eye. Like everything else in life. I guess we have to do our dyor
Learning so much from you, thanks. My question is, who owns the copyright of the NFT? I'm thinking about turning characters from a picture book I'm writing/illustrating into NFTs. If I do, and they sell, can I still use my characters to have a book traditionally or even self-published without being sued by the Collector of the NFT?
As I understand it, the copyrights always belong to you. (disclaimer, I don't know anything about copyright laws) The owner of the NFT is allowed to showcase your work, but he cannot start printing your work on t-shirts and mugs to make some extra money without your permission. This means that you can continue to use the characters in books. If your books are successful, the NFT could increase in value too. It's in your interest though to tokenize and sell the characters only once to keep them rare.
Joyce Korotkin: This is one of the most interesting prospects to me, as an artist and author. I've tried different things with putting characters out "in the world" digitally over the past 20 years. Are you thinking you would turn images of the characters into NFT, or would you turn written descriptions of the characters into NFT? Or something else? I love the idea of someone valuing that ownership and paying for it, and then as I continue with more stories with the character, the value would increase. So fascinating.
@@brainmaker4495 I was thinking of putting the characters out there as illustrations/art. Just wasn't sure if it would hurt or hinder the book, should it ever be picked up. Or maybe chuck the book and sell the art. The whole NFT space is so new to me. I come from the Fine Art world grounded in the 20th century's ways of making and selling art, with all of its exclusivity and secrecy, everyone afraid of losing their advantage and 'position' within the rarified corridors. The NFT community is so sharing, caring and unified in one purpose - to always do good, to help each other, to promote each other's work. It's refreshing, enervating and shocking.
I am not a Artist, but I am a reseller of almost any collectables, right now I have a few paintings from the 1960's, I am in possession of the works but not the artist, is it ok to digitize what I own? I also have no experience with selling via crypto or computer art and the crypto I have would be no where near the fees I would need, so basically I have the ideas of NFT pieces of art that I would love to create, but zilch amount of know how to get from idea to NFT
What if I have a painting that I bought from another physical artist.. Would be a problem to digitalize that and sell it as NFT? Keeping the physical painting would give me problems if I want to sell in the future?
Thank you so much for this video. I'm super new on NFT. As a music composer and sculptor I am very interested to create beautiful collection in the NFT market
Thanks for watching Ryan and your question. No one know this except the artist. But you can often get an idea how an artist works and why he does things in a certain way if he shares his process on social media, which many artists pushing into the NFT space do. At the end of the day, it's a lot about trust and reputation. Many collectors have a close relationships with artist. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.
I think a real how to video would be real useful. Assume the person has some art that may be note worthy, show the steps to go from A-Z to get into the market place. What hidden cost to expect and so forth. Maybe I'm asking to much. But this is what I'm looking for without the hype. I can't be the only one. In any event, thanks for your efforts to this point. 💯
sparks, For sure you are not the only one having curious intentions and formulated questions... Myself: I have both of my big toes in the creative waters. Having both physical artwork collections (dating back to the mid 1980's) and digital artwork collections (dating back to the mid 1990's) and want to share them with the world at large.
Thanks for your comment. No, none of my work is listed on Superrare so far. This is mainly because I don't create anything 3D art related anymore. I wish you good luck with your application and keep my fingers crossed. Best, Ben
So I can scan my physical artwork through a printer and so it is a PNG or JPEG form. Destroy the original and then post the file of the image as an NFT ? Then add the details like an eBay ad such as a title, description and description of the store etc?
Don't destroy the original, physical piece. You can turn it into an NFT anyway. I also wouldn't tokenize it on Ethereum because of the high gas fees, but on Tezos instead (uploaded another video on how to create NFTs on objkt.com last week, check my channel page...) Keep in mind that it's all about marketing your work after you have tokenized it. I hope his answers your question. Have a great weekend. Best, Ben
If you sell NFT - how does one set parameters for continuing to use the image? So if you want to sell physical prints from an original NFT you sold? Is there a way to program for that? So that rights to print stay with artist ? Or does that not work as well since the image is digitized on blockchain?
I own several sports art paintings where I commissioned an artist but I am also part of the creative process as I designed the painting. In other words, I told the artist what I wanted on the canvas and actually licensed images from Getty Images to use. If I create an NFT, do the athletes depicted in the original painting need to be compensated since their likeness was used? Does the artist need to be compensated? My agreement with them was to create a painting and NFTs did exist at that time. Can a university or pro sports claim they need to be compensated if their colors or logo were used? We are talking about an original piece of artwork which not need permission or to be licensed at the time but now NFTs could represent a new form of commercialization. Thx.
Hello there! I very much like these videos on nft they really helpful. Now this could be a stupid question but is it possible to sell nfts of known characters without an official license? let´s say for example I wanna create and sell an nft of batman, will I be banned for doing so? Thanks in advance.
I have a question. I am a fabric dyer, etc, and the idea would be to sell digitalized images of certain works. I would like to ask what would be the problem with or disadvantage of selling an image or images of a work that I do NOT have around in the studio anymore, like images of past work?
I don't think that this is a problem as long as you are the creator of the original pieces. People who are collecting NFTs are usually more interested in the token than the actual physical piece. Best, Ben
Thanx for the video! Wich plataform do you think is the best and allows you to upload both physical and digital asset in the same auction? A full tutorial on doing that would be great. Thanx again and excuse my english 😬
Question.... can I take a picture of a graded sports card I own and turn it into an NFT? All graded sports cards have a unique serial number. Does the fact I didn't personally make the card or that there is the manufacturer's company logo on the card and the grading company's logo on the case cause an issue?
Only the copyright holder can turn it into an nft without it being illegal. Same goes for photos of physical artwork. I have even seen a lot of fanart NFTs, but once the big companies catch onto this whole NFT thing, many people could get into serious trouble for copyright infringement... especially because NFTs can be resold over and over again and each of those sales would be illegal... (at least that is what seems logical)
Thanks! Short and clear. One question: do you know what happens to the copyright? If you buy an original... Then... are you able to ,for example, sell print copies of it without anybody's permission??
Thanks for your question. Without an OK from the artist, I would say no. The copyright always belongs to the artist. It could be different when the artist is no longer alive anymore.
can I sell my paper artworks in nfts ? made by my hands physically and do I only need to click the pic of the physical and convert in into png and sell on nft ?
Yes, I'd say so. There are many different ways to arrange something like this. You could share a wallet with someone else for example, where transactions have to be signed by both parties to be confirmed.
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.
👏🏾👏🏾 This comment right here
congrats ! which platform did you use?
Best of luck! Hope you do well. What kind of art do you create? Where can we see it? These are strange times for all of us so (as most artists are already strange (speaking for myself here)) we should fit right in & go with the (modernised) flow & learn with the curve....if you know what I mean! Anyhoo! Best of luck.
wish you success. I like your words.
Hopefully you’ll slowly start to make a good reputation so you could maybe bump that price up. Art is a business, so think like a business as well.
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!
Let me know if you figure out something my little sister does canvas too
Could you take a picture of the artwork with your ipad and repaint it using the procreate app and save it as a png?
I want to put my own paintings on NFT, but the tutorials are just to digital art ( or how to digital your own art) how do we add our own paintings in openSean to the market? do you know the steps??? I just downloaded a Picture of my work :)
I’m heading the digital art arena as well
Same boat I love the idea of my pieces being "tools" to create master nft allowing me to keep my tools.....I also like the idea of giving the option to the buyer...... interesting..... what it does do for us old-school brush painters is a viable way to self leverage our art!
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!
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.
Do you scan them in the the 2d scanner like he suggested? What about larger pieces?Thanks and good luck wit the nfts!
@@sonnygemini7471 you can take a very high quality picture of the canvas. When I say high quality, I mean professional photographer with professional equipment. Today I was talking with a professional photographer exactly about this and she said that a picture is much over the scan as quality. I was surprised and in my ignorance I asked "really? I didn't know that" and she said "I don't take make the photography with my phone". I felt a little embarrased since we were talking in her professional studio 😅 I was there to ask for a scan on my canvas because it is bigger than A3 format.
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
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.
I am in the same position..could you help ..i wanna know what you did afterward..are you active with selling nfts now?
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 :)
I’m a artist who has 3 paintings in 3 different ways to post #nft ... My unique aspect is to have actual painting , signed and numbered prints , and stickers ......
Can you post your link to see how you are offering this? So you will send the actual physical painting with NFT and then you reserve rights to reprint ( not the owner of original) just wondering how this is presented on their sites
you are the best in show the value of NFT and how to get started on NFT
Thank you very much. Glad you like the content. Many more to come.
The bottom line here is the younger generations view things on the internet as real property. This is a concept the older generations have a hard time grasping. As time moves forward though, NFTs and other digital assets will grow tremendously. Just wait till Mixed Reality and Virtual Reality kick in with these NFTs.
There will be a day where you walk into your friend's real home and see digital artwork around the house.
Now I can stop beating myself up for letting my son spend so much time on the computer when he was younger, lol. He's been creating digital art for years. As a crypto enthusiast, I was super excited when I learned about NFTs and told my son about it right away. :)
I have a question 🙂 I have a collection of PokeMon cards from more than 20 years ago I bought for my son and he didn’t want them anymore so I have kept them thinking they may have value someday. I have quite a few Holo cards in pretty good condition for not being left in a sealed pack. Can I digitize these cards and have them minted and sell them?
Thank you for your time- You seemed like someone who may know the answer.
@@Supportfreespeech Have them appraised. Not sure if you can digitize them but you should know what they are worth.
Well, I'm a millennial and I have a hard time grasping this NFT concept. Older, physical goods, especially in art, tend to have more value anyway. If somehow this blockchain encryption technology is compromised, people will lose so much money, it will be ridiculous. How do they even display these things anyway, a million dollar gif, png?
@@1murkeybadmayn The technology for displaying this art through Digital Picture Frames, Virtual Reality, and Mixed Reality already exists. It's just a matter of app development really. Also, it is far more likely that someone can steal the real Mona Lisa than the blockchain being compromised. It would require such a large effort to do so it would outweigh the value of the hack. This is why blockchain is so safe.
I have recently gotten into NFTs and I watched a lot of videos about them and this is exactly what i needed! 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!)
It's funny I was just laughing at two older people in my organization that still couldn't still figure out how to use zoom. And then I immediately feel like I am the old person in the room when I try to figure out this stuff. I don't get it, I don't think my brain is capable of getting it, and I have a doctorate.
If you can come up with a business that simplifies this process you are going to make a lot of money and I would invest in it.
Thanks for watching and your comment Craig. Of course your brain is pefectly capable of getting this! 😀 What's probably missing is a basic understanding of blockchain technology, consensus algorithm, peer to peer networks and cryptography. But you are not alone. Most people have no idea what's going on under the hood. Maybe I will address this in future videos. Thanks, Ben
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 been watching many NFT videos that are available. Your videos are by far the best. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate your series on NFT's. As a mainly traditional painter, I thought that it would be problematic if an NFT of my painting was selling for way more than the traditional version of the same piece. Definitely a lot to think about.
You could always just add the Digital NFT as part of the package when someone buys your physical paintings. This way they get both and if they sell the digital version then it's on them and you still make a profit from it anytime the digital version is sold. Look at it as a Digital Anchor for your physical art that ties it to the virtual world.
@@realWorsin Was interested in learning more about this type of usage, any ideas for a direction for research on this?
@@theterminaldave just keep searching RUclips i suppose. I know there are lots of videos on creating NFTs.
Hey. I have similar issues. I'm a traditional painter too. Of course it is possible to sell a NFT and then physically mail them the painting. If the painting sells for enough you can do this easily. Personally I was thinking to simply take a good pic of a painting, then alter it in photoshop and make it animated slightly (that's about 5-10 frames set on repeat) then sell it as an animated NFT. That way it can keep the "original status", while securing your painting for sale elsewhere. You don't want to be in a dilemma where you sell your NFT of your painting as "a single work" only, then when you sell the original painting get approached by someone stating they technically own the painting (since they bought it as an NFT). Better to alter the original piece somehow, then make an NFT of it.
@@frederickhaddox2063 Altering the NFT from the original makes sense. Thanks Frederick!
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?
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 🧡
Thanks for watching! I totally agree with everything in your comment. The NFT space is the Wild West in crypto at the moment. Many issues are unclear and not solved yet. I think it's up to us to turn it into something sustainable.
@@3DGladiator Definitely..! this is just an open bridge to explore the very meaning of art in this age, and find the intelligence of what we do with the new way of perceiving everything. Thank you for your dedication..!
Just found this and its a great breakdown for a physical artist looking to enter the nft space. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
So one way to create an NFT out of a physical painting is to simply take a picture of it? Nice
video btw.
Thanks for watching! Yes, it's as easy as taking a simple picture. Then it's up to you what you declare as the unique piece of work.
@@3DGladiator So if I want to sell a physical painting including the digital version of it as an NFT, which platform would be the best for that? If somebody is buying the physical painting he/she will get the NFT for free but must be able to sell it.
@@3DGladiator any advice on what size should the file be? what if our photos are about 5-6 mb. Is that a good enough size?
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.
Of course , no reply .
In fact , after watching the video I have no idea how to turn physical art into digital ,still … lol .
@@digitaldirk7282 I'm so done with NFT 😖 and unnecessary processing fees. It's better to invest time in building online businesses, one or two would make it and has relatively more chances.
You are referring to the Gas Fees for the transaction necessary to mint on to the blockchain ? And I take it that it has been Ethereum ….very costly !
That’s all going to change soon . The Tech is improving on other Blockchains like Cardano and Polka Dot . Cheaper and more user friendly I imagine .
What type of online businesses are you into to / referring to ?
Thank you best video I have seen yet on converting real live canvas art into nft digital images
Thanks for watching! Best, Ben
As an artist who focuses on paints spray paint and drawings I'm glad I found this
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?

Very good video. How does copyright work with NFT’s. Can the artist still retain the copyright to their art works. If you have an original digital art work as an NFT does that mean you can’t reproduce the same image as a print using a print on demand service?
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 ?
Thats why the metaverse was created. So you can showcase your digital art when you are in it. This world will cease to exist, we are creating another world inside of this. The Devil told me this.
Thank you so much; an excellent primer. I will continue to consider how NFTs may serve my interests.
Thanks for watching Ted!
This video was definitely helpful, thank you for creating it.
This is a window opening into a previously unknown world. Having spent 20 years fashioning wood, metal and fabric by hand into Helena, I was buoyed up when sailing her into Greek island harbours to hear onlookers describe my creation as the most beautiful object they had seen. Her personified spirit is enshrined in a primitive portrait of Helen of Troy, painted by Elaine my wife. Fixed to the main bulkhead. her incisive countenance observes all who step on board.
I am considering revisiting this process anew and wish to offer Helena as an NFT. Could this become a possibility?
This was helpful brother, thanks a lot. I want to have both my artworks and NFTs as original pieces.
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"?
Thanks for your question Derek! You could turn an image of the sculpture into an NFT, but you could also 3d-scan the sculpture and turn the file into an NFT. Either way, you can always record the carving process and add it as unlockable content. Recording the process is a good idea as it proofs that you are the actual creator of the artwork.
@@3DGladiator I thought exactly that. Awesome idea. 3d scan for the win 💪🏾
Great question
@@3DGladiator thank you, very much for the reply. I'm not sure there would be much of an interest in chainsaw carving/sculpture in the NFT/CRYPTO world but you never know. Now I just need to figure out my best option for 3D-ing my image from a smartphone to a very limited laptop or how I go about it even...."Hey Google!....."🤣
@@3DGladiator can such NFT also be used as digital certificate for a physical art piece?
Thanks for this video man, as an art enthusiast, knowing NFT exist gives me hope that I can make money by doing art. And I bumped to one of the best NFT project- The Pop Cult. They got insanely good arts and if youre an artist they might consider your artworks.
Maybe I'm just an analog chauvinist, but I would never buy the NFT and not also the original physical work. Since forgery is such a big issue in the art market, an NFT is a great way to authenticate the physical work and keep track of the historical transactions. My only question is if I want to link the NFT to the physical work as a single entity, does there need to be a secret cryptography key embedded in the physical artwork itself that links it to the NFT?
My understanding is that the nft only contains meta data like name of artist piece number in series. Thank of it as a certificate but it lives on the block chain. It will be interesting if the 2 get sperated how that would shake out if some one else has the key and some one else the art.
How does the shipping of the physical object work? I understand the contract concept of the blockchain, but then who sets the shipping cost, who verifies that the object was delivered etc
Shipping is difficult. The truth is, most collectors are not interested in the physical piece. If there is one, then great, if there is none, it's great too as you don't have to deal with it when reselling the token in the future. Beeple sent physical tokens to the buyers of his NFTs when this all started and collectors loved it. I'm not sure though how they deal with the physical thing when they sell the token. If I would buy one of these NFTs, I would try to get in touch with the previous owner and make sure to receive the box too. niftygateway.com/itemdetail/primary/0x6e5dc5405baefb8c0166bcc78d2692777f2cbffb/21

Great video!!! I am a visual artist learning about nfts now. Where would you suggest I go next to learn. I do have basic understanding, a wallet, have started on opensea to mint but havent yet. I get offers from buyers to buy my work as nft's but I'm very wary dt scams etc.
Gosh, there is hope for me yet - Thank you xx
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks very much the tutorial is really helpful and perfect
Glad you liked it!
Do you have a more updated and expand video on this subject? I expected more "how to" stuff... steps to follow, things to avoid, what kind of gate keepers there may be, and if there are blocks or gate keepers, how to get around them. To me THIS is the subject. I enjoyed the video, but didn't really learn much. That's not a ding on you, but just factually how I perceived the video. In any event, thanks for the effort.
Just uploaded a video that might answer some of your questions recently. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/z2snYUL_uRU/видео.html Thanks for watching. Best, Ben
Hey as you said you will answer all questions...so here i am...my daughter aged 7 is a cartoonist and everyday she draws awesome cartoon drawings which are really interesting to look at...can i digitalize them and create an nft for display...please tell me
I have some oil paintings that have been in my family’s possession since it was bought in the 1960's. We do not know who the artist is. It was bought at a prison shop. So the artist was obviously a prisoner. Can it be turned into a NFT? Also, I was told that one has to scan in the oil painting and not simply take a photograph of it. Is this true? Although old, these oil painting are in mint condition. I am afraid that scanning might damage it. Also, are there any technical specifications on how big the digital artwork should be? Any advice would be welcome.
This is amazing.. the interpretation of value and ownership is changing right before our eyes.
I create reproductions if originals through printing but I also paint over the reproductions to make them look and feel like an original. Based on these new definitions, I think I create another original when I alter the reproduction.
Does this change the status for claiming what's original or a print for tangible paintings too?
So the token stores the value and the value can be sold or traded?
So the future of art is projections of art pieces onto somebody's wall instead of having the tangible piece..
02:55 Dude, totally love how you give awareness, this true, the change is about to come we have to pack our backs and get ready!
04:38 - Wow man! so cruel ! XD - Also recording destorying process as a prove and Locked content is are amazing ideas!
Thanks for all useful infos you get us! very cool of you. 👍👍
So if I do the original drawing as pencil on paper, scan that into the computer, then ink and color it digitally, would the digital version be considered the finished artwork? Or would the physical drawing and the digital drawing be considered two separate works?
Its up to you. If you do not include the fiscal them they are separate pieces
If I choose to sell a physical version separate from the NFT, should I state precisely what I am doing in the description of the NFT? Typically, with my physical works, I am bound to the the limitations I set forth in my Certificate of Authenticity, but I am not seeing these boundaries stated clearly with NFT's.
Thank you for a wonderful video. You mentioned that not all of the problems are solved yet in NFTs. What are the problems that are still really pain points ..
Great information and I thank you so much for making this video! I do have a question. If your work is on paper done with markers pens oil paintings whatever… It has to get into the computer somehow. I have a reasonably nice scanner on my printer. When I scan a product in what settings should I use? A piece that I read regarding this said "it is strongly recommended to generate the NFT markers with an optimal resolution and size: a total size in pixels base x height between 3,300,000 to 3,500,000 pixels and DPI of at least 200 to 300." I am not sure how to achieve that. Do you have a guideline that can help me?
Thanks for watching and your question Maggie. I would scan it with high, or even the highest settings available. This usually means cranking up the DPI value as high as supported by your device. This results in large files, but preserves all the details. Things like cropping and color correction are done in Photoshop later on. When you tokenize your work, you are usually limited to certain file size, set by the marketplace you mint and list the NFT. For this reason, it makes sense to include a highres version of the image as unlockable content for instance. This way the buyer get access to the high-resolution artwork after purchasing. I hope this answers your question. Best, Ben
Thank you!@@3DGladiator
I like the idea of turning a painting into an animation. I'd have to commission someone for that. But to get started, i may sell them separately.
not sure if galerys are gona disapear. even tho I like the idea of NFTs, there are artworks that can't be digitalised, works that include multiple layers to experience for example. also visiting a galary is an experience that can't be replicated on a screen.
I'm associating the term "gallery" more with an institution that acts as the intermediary between the artist and the collector/buyer. Museums and exhibitions will never go away of course. Some of them will take place in the Metaverse in the future though.
@@3DGladiator Oh alright, got it. :)
Hi, would it be better if your original painting was square as in painted on a square canvas
Square is usually better as you can use more of the available display space, but every other format works as well. Don't let your creativity be limited by marketplace specifications.
Artists in general don't get any well deserved credit or pay for their work. It doesn't matter if you're a digital artist or traditional. The more power we have over our work the better.
Hi,
Quick question. My father in law has a physical painting from 1800 which was apparently painted by someone close to Picasso. Can I digitize this image and upload it as an NFT? If so how would I digitize it? can I just take a picture and upload it or do I need to convert it into an anime picture? Thanks for sharing all these great videos with us.
I am an art collector as well digital art creator. I have two pieces in my personal collection from the 60’s and both are unsigned and the artist is unknown. Can these be converted to NFT’s? I would love some feedback
Best video online about this!! I have a few paintings I bought from an artist back in the day... can I sell it as an owner and not as an artist? Thanks
Thank God someone explained it very well 👍🏻❣
Glad it was helpful!
I have a question regarding to your previous video:
When people buy "Leaving Aracadia" you posted on Rarible, the authentic one-of-a-kind NFT that people buy and trade is the Jpeg and not the Tiff file??
It sounds counter-intuitive that the low-res image is more valuable than the hi-res image you unlock as an bonus.
hi - do i understand you can use existing paintings of ‘other’ artists and digitally ‘change’ it with layers, colors, adding images, …. For example the picasso bull?
I would say no. But there is quite a bit of room for an artistic interpretation of another artist's work. Copying without adding your creative twist is probably not a good idea.
nice info, how do you think people can ensure the unity of physical product and nft , like QRcode or IC chips ?
I appreciate this, it’s very useful to know as a traditional artist
After looking a bit more into NFTs I’m curious if you are aware of the environmental impact of NFT minting?
@@SketchBen its great for the environment 😂
Interesting to see options you propose for physical works, thank you. Is there an option to mint nfts for other artists work on your profile as well as your own work. I have been looking for examples of this but not yet found any
I want to use an app to alter my art then print off these 3D images to sell as NFT's. I want to keep my art to use on future projects, just not sure where to sell, or how to sell.

You are doing a great job, I greatly appreciate the info you are passing on.... I am an artist looking into NFT'S
I loved your vid and I am working on creating my first ever nft art. .....
Nice Anayo keep it coming Auchi poly rocks
Hanging your NFTs in a VR metaverse would be pretty dope.
You can already display NTFs in The Sandbox for example. Unfortunately it does not support VR yet...
Thank you very much. Can you please make a video on explaining the complete process of how to put a physical painting on NFT and auction and sell it. I am looking for the complete easy process. I am from India. Suppose, I wanna sell one of my physical painting, how would I do it through NFT, and how would the complete process of reaching the painting from artist to buyer living in anywhere in the world happen?
Please make a video on this. That would be very helpful for artists who don't know anything about these crypto things and want to adapt to new system and make money by selling their peerless arts. Thanks :)
Question. I own physical art by some artists. Just because I own it, does that mean I could digitize it and resell it? That seems like stealing someone else's work or violating a copyright. Thoughts on this?
Thanks for your question. If possible, I would try to get the artist on board when turning his work into a NFT. This not only helps promoting it, but it also makes the whole endeavor more legit regarding additional NFTs that come from the same artist in the future. This is only possible if the artist is still alive of course.
@3D Gladiator
My brother created amazing physical art with details in electronic circuit inspiration.
My question is this: I have an art print e-commerce store, and we copied and printed out some editions. Can I use the original art drawing and make into an NFT for niftygateways for example, and still continuing printing out the editions for sale in my shop with the digital copy that I had in the beginning?
Cool vid! Thanks!
Im only starting in NFT so its really helpful to hear some professional thoughts :)
Glad it was helpful!
This video will change my life
I have one more question! If we can create NFT's basically from anything, all we need to do is digitalize an image/object/sculpture etc... What prevents me from making an NFT out of an already existing one? IE: I buy a NFT, put it up on my tv or print it out, and then digitalize by taking a photo of that copy and make an NFT out of it.
Is there anything that prevents copy's being turned in to NFT's?
Nothing prevents you from doing this. The questions is: has it any value at the end? By tokenizing artworks you don't automatically make it valuable.
@@3DGladiator I see... But I'm sure that there are a lot of people in it only for the money and there are going to be copy's moving around to sell to the untrained eye. Like everything else in life. I guess we have to do our dyor
The moment he said DESTROY i was like: THIS IS FOR MEEEEE 😩🔥✨🔥✨🔥😩😩😩
Learning so much from you, thanks. My question is, who owns the copyright of the NFT? I'm thinking about turning characters from a picture book I'm writing/illustrating into NFTs. If I do, and they sell, can I still use my characters to have a book traditionally or even self-published without being sued by the Collector of the NFT?
As I understand it, the copyrights always belong to you. (disclaimer, I don't know anything about copyright laws) The owner of the NFT is allowed to showcase your work, but he cannot start printing your work on t-shirts and mugs to make some extra money without your permission. This means that you can continue to use the characters in books. If your books are successful, the NFT could increase in value too. It's in your interest though to tokenize and sell the characters only once to keep them rare.
Joyce Korotkin: This is one of the most interesting prospects to me, as an artist and author. I've tried different things with putting characters out "in the world" digitally over the past 20 years. Are you thinking you would turn images of the characters into NFT, or would you turn written descriptions of the characters into NFT? Or something else? I love the idea of someone valuing that ownership and paying for it, and then as I continue with more stories with the character, the value would increase. So fascinating.
@@brainmaker4495 I was thinking of putting the characters out there as illustrations/art. Just wasn't sure if it would hurt or hinder the book, should it ever be picked up. Or maybe chuck the book and sell the art. The whole NFT space is so new to me. I come from the Fine Art world grounded in the 20th century's ways of making and selling art, with all of its exclusivity and secrecy, everyone afraid of losing their advantage and 'position' within the rarified corridors. The NFT community is so sharing, caring and unified in one purpose - to always do good, to help each other, to promote each other's work. It's refreshing, enervating and shocking.
I am not a Artist, but I am a reseller of almost any collectables, right now I have a few paintings from the 1960's, I am in possession of the works but not the artist, is it ok to digitize what I own? I also have no experience with selling via crypto or computer art and the crypto I have would be no where near the fees I would need, so basically I have the ideas of NFT pieces of art that I would love to create, but zilch amount of know how to get from idea to NFT
Excellent! Liked and Subscribed :)
Thanks for the sub!
Every time I have to turn on the monitor to appreciate the art works.
I bought the art, but feel that art far away.
What if I have a painting that I bought from another physical artist.. Would be a problem to digitalize that and sell it as NFT? Keeping the physical painting would give me problems if I want to sell in the future?
Thank you so much for this video. I'm super new on NFT. As a music composer and sculptor I am very interested to create beautiful collection in the NFT market
You're welcome Angelo. Thanks for watching. Best, Ben
This was the vedio I am searching since last week. Tq for the answer
Thanks! Which market do you suggest for artists?
I ain’t ever shredding 😂😂😂
Thanks for your video if the original physical is destroyed after making an who is to know if a prior Digital Copy wasn't taken first?
Thanks for watching Ryan and your question. No one know this except the artist. But you can often get an idea how an artist works and why he does things in a certain way if he shares his process on social media, which many artists pushing into the NFT space do. At the end of the day, it's a lot about trust and reputation. Many collectors have a close relationships with artist. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.
Thank you Gladiator and keep up the good work on your channel @@3DGladiator
I think a real how to video would be real useful. Assume the person has some art that may be note worthy, show the steps to go from A-Z to get into the market place. What hidden cost to expect and so forth. Maybe I'm asking to much. But this is what I'm looking for without the hype. I can't be the only one. In any event, thanks for your efforts to this point. 💯
sparks, For sure you are not the only one having curious intentions and formulated questions... Myself: I have both of my big toes in the creative waters. Having both physical artwork collections (dating back to the mid 1980's) and digital artwork collections (dating back to the mid 1990's) and want to share them with the world at large.
thanks man. i saw your work on superrare right? just applied there as an artist who actually paints and is learning to digitize and make nft
Thanks for your comment. No, none of my work is listed on Superrare so far. This is mainly because I don't create anything 3D art related anymore. I wish you good luck with your application and keep my fingers crossed. Best, Ben
So I can scan my physical artwork through a printer and so it is a PNG or JPEG form. Destroy the original and then post the file of the image as an NFT ? Then add the details like an eBay ad such as a title, description and description of the store etc?
Don't destroy the original, physical piece. You can turn it into an NFT anyway. I also wouldn't tokenize it on Ethereum because of the high gas fees, but on Tezos instead (uploaded another video on how to create NFTs on objkt.com last week, check my channel page...) Keep in mind that it's all about marketing your work after you have tokenized it. I hope his answers your question. Have a great weekend. Best, Ben
If you sell NFT - how does one set parameters for continuing to use the image? So if you want to sell physical prints from an original NFT you sold? Is there a way to program for that? So that rights to print stay with artist ? Or does that not work as well since the image is digitized on blockchain?
Suppper excited!!!! This works perfect for the type of painter i am
How does the possession of original art work with ownership of the digital asset.
Now you have two originals. No?
Yes, basically you have two originals after minting. The original artwork and the token are separate assets.
how do I sell my canvas? how do I add myself, do they accept artist or what? i did not find where to register and upload
I own several sports art paintings where I commissioned an artist but I am also part of the creative process as I designed the painting. In other words, I told the artist what I wanted on the canvas and actually licensed images from Getty Images to use. If I create an NFT, do the athletes depicted in the original painting need to be compensated since their likeness was used? Does the artist need to be compensated? My agreement with them was to create a painting and NFTs did exist at that time. Can a university or pro sports claim they need to be compensated if their colors or logo were used? We are talking about an original piece of artwork which not need permission or to be licensed at the time but now NFTs could represent a new form of commercialization. Thx.
Hello there! I very much like these videos on nft they really helpful. Now this could be a stupid question but is it possible to sell nfts of known characters without an official license? let´s say for example I wanna create and sell an nft of batman, will I be banned for doing so? Thanks in advance.
I have a question. I am a fabric dyer, etc, and the idea would be to sell digitalized images of certain works. I would like to ask what would be the problem with or disadvantage of selling an image or images of a work that I do NOT have around in the studio anymore, like images of past work?
I don't think that this is a problem as long as you are the creator of the original pieces. People who are collecting NFTs are usually more interested in the token than the actual physical piece. Best, Ben
@@3DGladiator Thank you very much for reply and the great info!!
Thanx for the video! Wich plataform do you think is the best and allows you to upload both physical and digital asset in the same auction?
A full tutorial on doing that would be great. Thanx again and excuse my english 😬
Question.... can I take a picture of a graded sports card I own and turn it into an NFT? All graded sports cards have a unique serial number. Does the fact I didn't personally make the card or that there is the manufacturer's company logo on the card and the grading company's logo on the case cause an issue?
Only the copyright holder can turn it into an nft without it being illegal. Same goes for photos of physical artwork. I have even seen a lot of fanart NFTs, but once the big companies catch onto this whole NFT thing, many people could get into serious trouble for copyright infringement... especially because NFTs can be resold over and over again and each of those sales would be illegal... (at least that is what seems logical)
Thanks for the shout out!
Thanks for watching and your comment Josh! I'm a huge fan of your work.
Thanks! Short and clear. One question: do you know what happens to the copyright? If you buy an original... Then... are you able to ,for example, sell print copies of it without anybody's permission??
Thanks for your question. Without an OK from the artist, I would say no. The copyright always belongs to the artist. It could be different when the artist is no longer alive anymore.
Great video thanks for all the advice, I like Subscribed and engaged with the comments! Best of luck sending you all love and light!! ❤️
can I sell my paper artworks in nfts ? made by my hands physically and do I only need to click the pic of the physical and convert in into png and sell on nft ?
Thanks so much
Can multiple people jointly own digital art?
Yes, I'd say so. There are many different ways to arrange something like this. You could share a wallet with someone else for example, where transactions have to be signed by both parties to be confirmed.
