One of its aims is to use images of popular as opposed to elitist culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any culture, most often through the use of irony. Notice how the phaser lines shown in red travel all the way to the edge, and the background has a fractured, shattered glass-like appearance.Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the United Kingdom and the United States during the mid- to lates. The little light reflected in the eye is placed on a top layer at the very end it's called a 'catchlight' and gives eyes a more lifelike appearance. Eyes, ears, and usually lips will typically have more detail. Lines that reach the edge of the artboard should intersect or overlap the large rectangle border. Don't be afraid to create large lines that cross the entire composition, and use more detailed lines in areas such as the eyes, ears, and the mouth. No need to worry about closed paths, shape layers, or overlapping objects - being messy is fine. There is no real shortcut to making the lines and geometry, and you wouldn't want to leave this creative decision to the robots anyway. Using straight lines to create structure, movement, and interest is the goal. WPAP line work is traditionally straight and not curved, so posterizing or live tracing is right out. This box will provide a handy border to contain the color regions once you begin. Make a New Layer on top of the portrait layer this is where most of your art will happen. Making this a template layer will be important later after you begin coloring, because it still allows you to see the photo when you use outline mode.
Place your photo onto the the only layer in the doc. This will be a vector piece, so scaling up or down in the future will not be a problem. Let's use Captain Kirk for our example.Ĭreate a new Illustrator document with art board dimensions that suit your portrait. Typically the stronger the contrast the more dramatic the finished piece.
The photo you choose should ideally have well-defined tones and clarity. Select any portrait photo that tickles your fancy. WPAP is a Cubist-inspired style of geometric pop art that has been lurking around the internet for quite a while.
