I spent a whole Saturday at Borders poring through photography and photo-editing magazines and then half a Sunday trying to apply what I read.
I remember I'd always wanted to get one of those bright, colourful Marilyn Monroe pop art portraits and I thought I'd try creating my own. After reading an article "Create a Pop Art Portrait" by Howard Millard that was featured in Better Photoshop Techiniques Issue 16, I selected a few suitable photos from my photo library and played around with them. The results can be seen below. They are not perfect, but I love them.
Maybe I should make a few of these prints, frame them and hang them up in my room.
One thing I thought I should mention is that I actually did all the above with the touch pad on my laptop cos I don't have a mouse at home. It's a helluva lot of hard work trying to paint without a mouse!
