Pop Art Portraits – Taking Your Photos to the Next Level
Pop Art Portraits are hip art forms especially for your loved ones. You can give a framed pop-art portrait to your friends and impress them. A pop-art portrait is a personal gift your friends will surely treasure for the rest of their lives. Giving gifts today no longer requires you to spend lots of money. All you need to have is just creativity and you will go a long way.
The art movement of pop art began in the 20th century. Pop art is basically the isolation of a visual representation of modern commodities. The artist can add expression to give the portrait a different meaning to the original image. Marilyn Monroe for instance (the visual commodity) is transformed into pop art. The artist would then put colors or different pastel backgrounds to jazz up the picture.
Even though your friend is not a celebrity, you can still convert their photo to pop art easily. Once you have your prefered image, scan and open in a graphics package such as illustrator. Now trace the facial features.
Try tracing only the most dominant features. A simple nostril outline is all that is required for the nose. Place importance on the iris when drawing the eyes. After tracing, you put color in the picture as well as detail until complete.
You can change the background and manipulate the artwork. You can even borrow your friend’s face and put it on the body of Pamela Anderson. Bright colours can be added to the portrait to give it a more lively feel. Adding earthy colours would result in a warm feeling. To get that classic feel you can also choose black and white.
Pop Art Portraits can also be done on family photographs. Simply use the faces of family to get an instant classic gift.
You can also print your pop artwork into canvas prints to display better. Cost can be controlled by simply choosing canvas dimensions within your budget. You can ask the canvas to be stretched, gallery-wrapped or framed. Loved ones can be remembered forever in a modern format.
Canvas print utilizes modern technology which enables to print full colored pictures and pop art portraits up to 60 inch of cotton canvas. As well as this, your final artwork can be produced and dispatched within days. Canvas prints are made easier with the advancement of todays large format printers.
Pop art can also be used in marketing or advertising campaigns and not just as a gift. The uses are limitless and you will see that making them is plain cool and simple.
