Artists are making money creating masterpieces by selling their works on the NFT marketplaces, such as OpenSea, Rarible, SuperRare, Nifty Gateway and Mintable. Many platforms are popping up, but even celebrities are getting a piece of the pie by building partnerships with those marketplaces.
Many of you wonder with amazement or disgust on the art pieces that sell for a ridicules price, and in your mind, you know you could do a better job. Only if you knew what apps you can use to get started, assuming you are already an artist and would like to dive into the digital world.
The apps I recommend are divided into two categories, pay to use and free to use. The decision of what’s best is up to you and what you are more conferrable with. Remember it’s your world, your imagination.
