Warhol

This is another Warhol image I tried that he uses in his art work. To create this I cut out the main body and deleted the background and filled it with a colour. I then made the image blurry like i did when creating my first Warhol. I made the image as blurry as I thought was needed. I then replaces the colours in the images. I then repeated this 4 times and created my final product. Warhol did this kind of work on the famous Marilyn Monroe image. When was first creating this I forgot to take out the background image and create a block colour. I deleted this and took out the background to make a block colour.

Warhol

After creating an Opie image, I then created Warhol Image. To do this I again used different layers and fill techniques to create this. I first put my chosen image in greyscale and adjusted the brightness and contrast. I then created a duplicate image and made the image blurry. I then made another layer and filled it with colour using the paint bucket tool. An artist that has used this would be The Velvet Underground. Warhol designed their album cover for them and used similar techniques.

Opie

This is my Opie image of myself that i created on photoshop. It started with an original image and i created different layers to produce the final product. To select the parts of the image I wanted to change and create a layer for I would use the Marquee selection tool to draw round it. I did this for my face hair and clothes and I named each layer so I didn't get confused in the process. I would then choose a suitable colour and then simply just used the paint bucket tool to fill in age layer, like my hair etc. I used the pencil tool to create eyes, nose and a mouth. Lastly I created a layer for the block background colour and just filled it in used the pain bucket tool. We got the inspiration to create the Opie images after looking at the Blur album cover off all the members of the band in this style.
