A pop art portrait gift will be treasured by your friends for many years to come. Gifting today no longer demands you to spend lots of bucks. With a little creativity and some spare time, you will produce great results.
Pop art became an art movement of the 20th century. Pop Art has been described as a visual representation of modern commodities. The artist would add up his expression to jazz up and give the picture a different meaning. For example, the portrait of Marilyn Monroe (the visual commodity) is made into a cartoon drawing (the isolation). 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. For nose, tracing the nostrils will be enough. For the eyes, the iris is the most important. Once the outlines are traced, colour and detail are slowly added to complete the portrait.
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. You can also choose simple black and white for a more classic feel.
Family photos are a good choice for Pop Art Portraits. Simply use the faces of family to get an instant classic gift.
For a more impressive result, turn your pop art portraits into canvas prints. The size of canvas is your choice, allowing you to give a genuine art form for less cost. You can ask the canvas to be stretched, gallery-wrapped or framed. Imagine your friends, parents, and children remembering you every time they see the portrait.
