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. Creativity is all that is needed and experiment.
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. To improve the background, the artist would then replace it with a colour or graphic.
Even if your friend is not a visual representation of modern commodities, you can jazz his picture up and turn it into an art form following the pop art style. Firstly select your prefered photograph and then use a graphics package (such as Illustrator) to outline the facial features.
It really only requires tracing of the facial 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 artwork to have a selected background. 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. Putting earth colors would add a warm feeling. By choosing black and white you will gain that classic look.
Pop art portraits are also good for family pictures. You could sketch the faces of the family members and presto – you get an instant classic gift.
Turn your pop art portraits into canvas prints for a better finish. You can customize the size of canvas and you will give a genuine art form with less money to burn. You can ask to have to artowork stretched or rolled in a tube. Its great for remembering special loved ones each time you look at the portrait.
With todays technology, canvas prints can be made at almost any size. Not only that, you can get your pop art portraits in canvas print in not months but days. Modern large format printers make the job easier while producing outstanding colour and quality.
Not only as a gift, pop art portraits can be used for logos, greeting cards, or even collage. There are no limits to the uses and making them is simple and fun.
