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 gift will be treasured by your friends for many years to come. Giving gifts today no longer requires you to spend lots of money. A little creativity and some time on your hands you will succeed.
Pop art became an art movement of 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. For example, the portrait of Marilyn Monroe (the visual commodity) is made into a cartoon drawing (the isolation). The artist would then use various colours or design to improve the background.
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 really only requires tracing of the facial features. For the nose, a simple nostril outline would 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 manipulate the portrait and put a different 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. Adding earthy colours would result in a warm feeling. To get that classic feel you can also choose black and white.
Pop Art Portraits can also be done on family photographs. You could sketch the faces of the family members and presto – you get an instant classic gift.
For better results, why not print your pop art portrait as a canvas print. Cost can be controlled by simply choosing canvas dimensions within your budget. You can ask to have the artwork gallery wrapped or rolled in a tube to choose your own frame. Loved ones can be remembered forever in a modern format.
Canvas print utilizes modern technology which enables to print full colored pictures and pop art portraits up to 60 inch of cotton canvas. Within days your artwork can be produced and dispatched to your door. Todays large format printers can produce outstanding colour and quality whilst making the job easier.
Pop art can also be used in marketing or advertising campaigns and not just as a gift. There are no limits to the uses and making them is simple and fun.
