Where to start?

Absolutely from passion and practice. But even if you are a creative artist who dreams to draw every second of your life, you’ll need at least 2 more things : a Public, a Wallet and, optionally, a programming knowledge and an utility.

Socials are powerful and will help you to create your community. It’s important to choose the social in fonction of your idea of commerce : Twitter the more efficace to share experience, the professional one, Instagram to spread your art everywhere with stories (attention to bots), Discord (only for huge communities and if you have time to spend in) to share your ideas and to create a project with people and for people, Linktree to list your social links on a unique page, Medium and your personal website to present your creation and explicate the concept.

Wallet. If you want to sell digital art , you need a crypto wallet (Metamask the more complete and supported) and an account in Opensea (the largest NFT market), Rarible, Superare, HicetNunc (principally for Photo Art), Curate (on Solana blockchain).
