Your next assignment is to process one of your photographs into the Andy Warhol signature style. Follow my tutorial below. Use a portrait you shot in one of our previous assignment for this project. Make sure you have similar levels of color/detail/variation as the examples on this page.
After you complete the tutorial post your results to your blog...
The Andy Warhol Process in Photoshop CS5:
Open up one of your favorite pictures that you have taken during this class in Photoshop.
Create a copy of the background layer
Go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation
Pull down the Saturation slider until your image is black and white
Next, go to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast
And adjust the brightness and contrast until your image looks "high contrast"
Then go to Image > Threshold
And adjust the Threshold slider until your image looks satisfactory
Next, create a new blank layer
And grab the Polygonal Lasso Tool, and draw an outline around the elements in your image
Next pick a color from your swatch palette or color picker and fill the selection with your color (Option-Delete, or go to Edit > Fill)
Now change the Blend Mode of your color layer to Darken, this is located on your Layer Palette
And now your image will show through the color
Continue this process until all of your image is filled with color, create a new layer for each color, this is important as you will go back and edit each layer later on.
For an added effect, airbrush the edges of your image with a large brush and black fill color
Then change the Blend Mode to Dissolve
Next, Shift-Select all your layers and go to Layer Palette Sub Menu > Create New Group From Layers. Now you can create copies of those layers and edit the colors of each group like I have below...
Have fun!
