Today, I want to share something really cool that I did with one of my original drawings. I took a picture of my art and made it into something brand new—without changing the original at all. Let me explain!
The Original Drawing
This first version is my drawing done by hand, just like traditional artists have done for years. It is on paper. It has pencil lines, shading, and all the little marks that make it special. It is the kind of art you hang on your wall or keep in your sketchbook. I will always love this version. It shows my hard work, my vision, and my style.
The NFT Version
Now, here comes the fun part! I made a digital version of the same drawing by turning it into something called an NFT (which stands for Non-Fungible Token). But I did not change the drawing itself. I used a computer program to add a cool space background with planets and stars. Then I gently placed my original art right on top of that galaxy scene.
So now I have two ways to show the same artwork:
- One on paper (traditional)
- One in a digital space world (NFT)
Why Try an NFT? I did not have to change or damage my original art. Making an NFT is just another way to celebrate your art and share it with new people online. Some people love the feel of pencil and paper. Others get excited by moving colors, glowing stars, and art that lives on the blockchain.
When you create an NFT from your original piece, you open a door. That door leads to more imagination, more viewers, and more opportunities but your original artwork stays just the way it is.
A Word of Encouragement
If you are an artist, your traditional work is already amazing. You do not have to change who you are to be part of the NFT world. All you need is curiosity and a little guidance to explore new creative tools.
Try new things, experiment with digital backgrounds, and dream big. Your art deserves to be seen in many different lights paper, screen, or stars!
