Pop Art Self-Portrait

Creating your own Pop Art Effects!

1. Open your "normal" photo in Photoshop.
2. Choose which style you'd prefer:
  • comic book (Lichtenstein) style
  • 4-up (Warhol) style.
  • You can mix and match, the techniques are very similar.
3. Open up the tutorial you want in a new window- comic book or warhol.
4. Follow the instructions step-by-step.
    Don't forget to save your work often.
5. Once you finish the basic steps, try adding additional filters, painting on top, playing with layer effects, and more! Have fun with it. You can also mix and match OTHER TUTORIALS.

Be sure you practice and get comfortable with these new techniques: Selection tools, Filter, and Image > Hue/Saturation.
