Question:

Would you buy original Art as an electronic dwnload?

I have been trying to sell my art online and am planning to try electronic downloads, and am asking, would you buy original Art as a download, which you can print yourself, and thus save costs?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

You could create an account of www.deviantart.com if you don't already have one. They sell prints through the site, but I've noticed a lot of artists encourage people to contact them if they are interested in buying prints. You could do something similar, I suppose, with downloaded images. Many people put prominent watermarks on their art when they don't want it used without their permission. If your planning on selling a digital image, you should probably watermark the one you put up on the site. Another idea would be to sell a disk with the unwatermarked image on it. A lot of people like to have some "thing" in hand when they pay money for it.

Good luck!
