This Pop art course is recomended for Rookie to Intermediate Level Photoshop Users.



Let me demonstrate you in very few very easy steps how to transform you

photograph into authentic Warhol pop art design

First, properly choose your picture, it can easily be any photograph you favor,

photograph of you, your loved one, little ones, relative or simply just any one

you like. The secret to a superb final outcome is to be sure the illumination in

the picture is good sufficient. Generally any picture may do the job really okay,

yet the natural stream of the surrounding illumination will certainly allow to

accomplish that impressive Warhol pop art .



All right, I have my snapshot prepared with the background croped. It's essential

to crop the background, there are various ways to do that, the erase brush will do

the job or a lasso selection . The real photoshop pros are taking care of the

background utilizing channels. By making use of channels you can certainly make an

extremly precise selection, though this really is a entirely different story.



Step 1:

After you croped the background its time to work on the theme of the image. Work

with the lasso tool to make a rough selection around the hair, you may well

additionally require to modify the feather option on your lasso tool to

approximately 5px, this would depend on your photograph file size but in many

circumstances close to 5px should really be fine or alternatively you can modify

the feather radius after you make the lasso selection by choosing from the menu

Select+modify+feather and again around 5px. Next, copy and paste your selection

(make sure that the new layer is perfectly placed over the primary) and modify the

levels (Ctrl+l, Image+Adjustments+levels) until you notice a definitely fine

contrast among the darkish and mild areas of the hair as presented in the image

.

Step 2:

Duplicate the original Layer, simply just by hitting Ctrl+D, pick the copied layer

(You may title it as Facial details) and use threshold effect (Image, adjustments,

Threshold). Differ the values of the effect until you obtain thinner and clear

outlines near the eye lids, lip area, nose etc... See the example below.

Step - 3

Pick the primary layer once again and use the threshold effect still this time you

would like to obtain the dark areas and face expressions. So, go for values that

will give you more bold features.


Step 4:

At this time you have to work on the hair layer you made before. Choose the Hair

layer and use a threshold effect intending to acquire clean and thin details like

in step 2.




Step 5:

All right, right now you should certainly have 4 layers: 1 is layer we began with,

2 is the layer titled original, 3 is the Face details layer, and 4 Hair details

layer. Combine 3 and 4(Face details and Hair) in to one layer by just choosing

them at the same time holding Ctrl and simply click Ctrl+E (Layer+ Merge layers).

Still prior to combining cleanse the dark areas that could possibly be there in

quite a few scenarios as exhibited in the snapshot beneath and next mix. Choose

the layer titled Original and make a copy from it.


Step 6

O . k ., we are more or less finished. Select the newly merged Layer (hair) and go

to you channel panel. Select the Red channel and click on it while holding Ctrl.

It will create a selection on all your dark areas. Select the RGB channel and go

back to your layers pallete and click delete on your keyboard. Do the same for the

layer titled Original


Step 7:

Double click on the layer titled Original copy and put on a color overlay , you

might decide on whatever tone you prefer, for this specific training I've chosen

to start up with a vivid orange color. Choose the layer titled original and put

on color overlay using a a little bit distinctive shade of orange possibly a

little bit brown. Next, select the Hair layer and apply any darker color you like

for example a darker violet. And the last Step - is to put colour to the

background layer or perhaps simply make a brand new layer and put on a fine

dazzling tone.

Step - 8

Repeat step 7 to create 3,6, or a 4 panel Warhol style.
