How To Create Digital Art To Sell Online
There are different ways to create digital art but today I’m sharing with you the 3 most easy & appealing ways to create digital art online.
1 – Convert Your Own Art Into Digital Art
This option might appeal to a small group of people, especially those who have an artistic knack.
For people who love to draw, paint, etc, this is a perfect option for you, just convert your own artwork as digital art & you can easily sell it online.
How to convert your physical art (hand-drawn artwork ) into digital art?
Just scan your artwork, upload it to any image editing software like photoshop, and do some touch-ups & there you have your digital artwork ready.
There are many tutorials on how to convert real art to digital, you can check them out
2. Using Text To Image Software ( Free Method )
If you are someone like me who suck at drawing, this option is for you.
Personally, I love graphic designing, I can spend the whole day creating designs on canva but I suck at drawing & painting.
And for people like me, this option is a blessing
Here I’ll show you how to create digital art using text to image feature of Canva.
this text-to-image canva feature is new…well not new-new but still new.
All you have to do to create digital art with canva is, write what you want your digital artwork to be & canva will create exactly that for you
And no…You don’t need canva pro for this, you can use this text-to-image feature with a free canva account as well.
This is one of the best ways to bring your imagination to life
How to use text to image feature of canva to create digital artwork
To create digital art using Canva – Go to Canva ( If you don’t have an account, You can sign up here)
Then select the size you want your art to be – once you open the blank canvas, go to the left-hand side menu & scroll all the way down until you find the apps tab.
In the apps section click on Text to Image
Then you’ll see this
Enter what you want your art to be & then select the output – whether you want it to be a painting, photo, 3d image, sketch, pattern art, or concept art or you can click on surprise me if you are not sure.
To show you how it works, I have entered the keyword – A cute monkey working on a laptop
This is the end result I got
Also, I used text to image canva feature to create unicorn paintings – here is the end result
Heads Up
This text-image feature of canva is still in the testing phase, so sometimes you might have to try more than once to get the desired result.

this third method is using a good AI Tool, out of all 3 this is the easy & most effective way but before we move forward, let me tell you this is a paid tool.
But don’t worry this is completely affordable – you don’t need to pay monthly, yearly, or even per download. It is just a one-time payment & quite cheap.
This works just like Canva – You have to insert what you want your art to be & then AI creates stunning artwork for you & the only difference is it is much more advanced.
Secret Hack
The awesome feature of this tool that makes paying worth it is – it’s a feature to create AI images of you or your clients.
Just upload a picture of you/your client & then type ” me as….” it can be a Superman, Wonder Woman, etc.
This can also be an awesome freelancing gig idea- people pay a lot of money for this kind of stuff.
You can also create viral digital art with this tool for example – a panda surfing or a dog eating burger. (crappy examples ik)
Basically, you can create any kind of image/art you want

Best Platform To Sell Digital Art (Digital Products)
There are many platforms that you can use to sell digital art online but today I’m gonna share with you my favorites.
These are the platforms – online marketplaces that either I have used or one of my clients did so, I know that the platforms are good to sell digital products.
Biggest Online Marketplace
Etsy – If you are into selling digital products then I’m 100% sure that you know about Etsy.
It is one of the biggest online marketplaces where you can sell both physical & digital products. Here our focus is selling digital products so let’s just talk about that.
Etsy can be one of the best places for you to start selling digital products – it is easy to set up & it has millions in traffic but it is not completely free.
You need to pay like 20 cents to list your product on Etsy & then there is like transaction fees that you need to pay Etsy after completing an order.
I don’t have an active Etsy shop now but I had one before, It is a good place to start.
I personally know some people who are making 5-6 figures selling just printables on Etsy, so give it a try.
Best Etsy Alternative
If you are someone who is burned out of Etsy, who couldn’t or won’t want to open an Etsy shop to sell digital products, or who doesn’t want to pay listing fees to Etsy then this is a platform for you.
There are no listing fees nor do you have to pay any transactional fees or commissions after selling your product. but yes, there is a signup fee but it is just the bare minimum.
It is just a one-time payment & then you can use the platform forever to sell unlimited products for free.
I have a detailed blog post explaining this platform if you want you can check it out
