I stumbled upon this link
and I was really impressed with their pop art portraits. I have searched the web for a tutorial explaining how to do this, but have come up empty handed. So, as a result I have been trying to figure it out myself. I have took a photo of my son, and have transformed that into what I think is pretty similar to Warhol's style, but it isn't quite there yet.
If anyone has any suggestions or perhaps a tutorial, it would be much appreciated. I have been working at this for over a week now. I will include the normal portrait and the pop art portrait.
Here's what I did.
I isolated my son from the original background. Put him on his own layer. Used channel mixer to convert to B&W. Duplicated layer. Turned that layer off so it was not visable. Used threshhold adjustment set to 3. Made a gradient map adjustment layer. Forground color purple, background color yellow. Merged visable. Made other B&W layer visable & used photocopy filter. I made a bright green background layer and adder a few brushstrokes.
