Pop-Art poster tutorial

On this tutorial I will show you how to make the famous Andy Warhol Pop-Art posters, You gonna have fun while doing this.
So when picking the picture, I recommend you to choose a simple picture, not with loads of hair so It come out easier for you and also white the white Background, but that’s just a recommendation (:
I got my picture from this Gallery.
Now let’s get to work!
1) Create a new file with the background contents set to “white”

2) Open your picture and drag it to our canvas.

3) go to Image>Mode>Grayscale

and select “Don’t flatten”
4) Duplicate your picture (Right click>Duplicate image) and we are going to name one “Hair” and the other one “body”

5) Now make the “hair” layer invisible and select the “body” layer

go to image>adjustment>levels

6) Adjust the levels until you get the desired effect.

This were my settings:

7) Make the “hair” layer visible again and select it

then once again go to Image>adjustment> Levels and adjust the layer to your like-

My settings were:

8) With the “hair” layer selected, grab the eraser tool (E) and start deleting the part covering the body:

9) Let’s get back to image>mode>RGB color

and select “don’t flatten”
10) So to color our image I created this color palette:

here are another 8 color palettes made by us, based on the originals Andy Warhol’s Pop-Art posters.
11) So let’s get to paint.
Create a new layer by clicking this icon:

at the bottom of your layers palette.
and change the blending mode to “Multiply “

and change the name of “Layer 1” to BG.
12) With the eyedropper tool (I), Take a sample of the first color (Purple-ish one) and then fill the picture with the paint bucket tool (G), This one will be our Background:

13) Create a new layer and Name it “hair” Once again set the blending mode to “Multiply” & make the BG layer invisible.

14) Go back to our color palette and whit the eyedropper tool (I) take a sample of the Yellowish color, that’s the one we will be using for our hair.
Done that, you have to select a rough brush and start painting over the hair.

Take your time, No rush, don’t worry if you make any mistake you can click Shitf+CRTL+z to undo it (:

15) Now once again create a new layer, name it “body” and set it to multiple & make the “hair” layer invisible.

16) Once again with the eyedropper tool take a sample of the pinkish tone & with the brush start painting.

Then go back and erase the part that is covering her teeth

17) Now, Create a new layer name it “lips”, change the blending mode to “multiply”, with the eyedropper tool select the red color and with a brush, start painting her lips.
