Terrified of canvas

Six months ago I stumbled onto putting stylus to IPad. Had not drawn anything in 35 years. The muscle memory was still there. Just a learning curve of manipulating virtual brushes, textures, and other tools not found in nature. I settled in quite comfortably in my own renaissance bubble. My constant quandary now is what to do with all the work sitting in a thumb drive. It is not a tangible thing. Is there a formula for setting a price for someone wanting your creations? There is no "original". One could print an infinite stream of a digital piece. I don't want to "Kinkade" my work should it have mass appeal. Is the work devalued since more can be made? This is my boggle. I cannot paint. I don't know how. Please help me get a grasp on these digital doodles that are piling up. Take painting lessons....right?
