If you make a print of an original drawing, is the print considered an original?

Question

Would the value be a lot lower than selling the original without making any prints? This is a graphite/charcoal drawing on acid-free medium weight lightly textured sketch paper.

Answer 1

Only the original is the original, a print would be a copy & therefore not original.

Yes the value would be lower.

Answer 2

Yes the value will be considerably lower then the original. The reproduction cannot still be considered an "original" however you can print a certain amount of the piece and sell it as a "limited edition" like 2/100 (meaning the second print of a limited edition of 100). Signing the limited edition is also recommended. Limited editions can sell for a good price but not as high as the true original.
