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. Your friends will always treasure a pop art portrait forever. Gifting today no longer demands you to spend lots of bucks. Creativity is all that is needed and experiment.

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. 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 though your friend is not a celebrity, you can still convert their photo to pop art easily. Simply choose a soft copy of a picture with him in it, and then use a graphics software in outlining his facial features.

It is actually more of tracing just the most dominant features. For nose, tracing the nostrils will be enough. Place importance on the iris when drawing the eyes. Once the outlines are traced, colour and detail are slowly added to complete the portrait.

Manipulate the portrait by changing the 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. You can also choose simple black and white for a more classic feel.

You can also use family photos for your portraits. You could sketch the faces of the family members and presto – you get an instant classic gift.

You can also print your pop artwork into canvas prints to display better. Canvas dimensions are completwetly your choice, meaning you control the costing. You can ask the canvas to be stretched, gallery-wrapped or framed. Loved ones can be remembered forever in a modern format.

With todays technology, canvas prints can be made at almost any size. Within days your artwork can be produced and dispatched to your door. Modern large format printers make the job easier while producing outstanding colour and quality.

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.
