The world of art and NFTs is breathtaking. Allow me to enlighten you on what tools I use to be a creator of non-fungible tokens in the world of Web 3.
This list of tools can explain my creativity over the past couple of years and some of these applications are for convenience in exchanging crypto.
#Recommended
BeFunky
NightCafe
FaceApp
getpaint.net by Rick Brewster
Paper, pencils, pencil crayons
Camera (or, use a high colour depth scanner)
Coinbase or Kraken
Revolut and virtual card or Monzo for Kraken
MetaMask / Coinbase Wallet
AirGap app or Kukai in browser
Phantom wallet
UHD monitor
Adobe suite costs money like having Sky Sports and BT Sport. It is also expensive to afford Apple Procreate and a decent new iPad and digital pencil.
This is why I recommend either starting with pencils or pens on paper and capture your creativity for FaceApp for mobile or BeFunky in web browser. Use the Microsoft store for an app by Rick Brewster which comes in handy or start creations in NightCafe where I recommend SDXL 0.9 or even the older algorithms.
Use A.I. upscaling in both NightCafe and BeFunky. This is a very useful feature of BeFunky when exporting from FaceApp, and in these two apps you can use Google Photos to port images between your mobile device and your computer.
Upscaled or high resolution images really require a UHD monitor.
I barely use image layers and rather, I use remove and keep with careful brush levels and sizes in BeFunky photo editor although layers can be used.
Beyond 2D art, I also mint audio although I have not created music in quite some time. This combination of tools can keep a person up all night and constantly busy, so just remember that there may be other leisure activities that are more important for personal health and fitness like the gym.
That's all folks.
