0:00:47.160,0:00:51.960
subjects head and the top of the

0:00:49.379,0:00:53.670

it from its background there are many

0:01:36.450,0:01:41.280

0:00:04.520,0:00:11.099
Hi, this is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.

0:00:11.099,0:00:15.639
Over a year ago, I did a tutorial showing how to make this pop art

0:00:15.639,0:00:20.470
portrait of Lady Gaga based on the iconic, silkscreens

0:00:20.470,0:00:24.450
of celebrities and other famous people by Andy Warhol.

0:00:24.450,0:00:28.330
Due to its popularity, I'll show you how to make another one

0:00:28.330,0:00:33.690
using techniques that are quicker and simpler.
Choose a photo of someone

0:00:33.690,0:00:36.989
you'd like to make into a portrait. If it's in color,

0:00:36.989,0:00:40.819
desaturate it by pressing Ctrl + Shift + U

0:00:40.819,0:00:43.850
on a PC or Comd + Shift + U

0:00:43.850,0:00:48.569
on a Mac. Make sure it's cropped, so it
just shows the subject's head

0:00:48.569,0:00:52.690
and the top on the shoulders. We need to
make sure that its size and resolution

0:00:52.690,0:00:55.989
will be the most effective for the
filters we'll be using.

0:00:55.989,0:00:59.510
So, go to "Image"...and "Image Size".

0:00:59.510,0:01:03.449
Click on the chainlink to lock its aspect ratio.

0:01:03.449,0:01:07.190
This will keep its proportions intact.
Type in...

0:01:07.190,0:01:11.880
500 pixels for the Width and 72 pixels
per inch.

0:01:11.880,0:01:17.110
Then, click OK. To fit it back onto your
screen,

0:01:17.110,0:01:22.530
press Ctrl or Cmd + 0. To make its darkest areas

0:01:22.530,0:01:26.320
black and lightest areas white, invoke

0:01:26.320,0:01:30.150
Auto-Tone by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + Shift + L.

0:01:30.150,0:01:33.520
We need to make a selection around the subject

0:01:33.520,0:01:37.510
to separate it from its background. There are many ways to do this

0:01:37.510,0:01:41.650
and I covered them in many of my tutorials. For this example,

0:01:41.650,0:01:45.390
I'll use the pencil tool. Make the Size,

0:01:45.390,0:01:48.860
10 pixels and the Hardness, 100%.

0:01:48.860,0:01:52.400
If your foreground and background colors

0:01:52.400,0:01:55.430
aren't black and white, respectively, press "D"

0:01:55.430,0:02:00.420
on your keyboard. Click the Quickmask button, so we can draw a quickmask.

0:02:00.420,0:02:03.530
Draw loosely around the head and shoulders

0:02:03.530,0:02:06.659
and make sure there are no openings in your quickmask.

0:02:06.659,0:02:10.920
Open your Paint Bucket tool...

0:02:10.920,0:02:14.770
and click down anywhere inside the quickmask.

0:02:14.770,0:02:17.880
Press "Q" to change the quickmask

0:02:17.880,0:02:22.380
into a selection and press Ctrl or Cmd + Delete

0:02:22.380,0:02:25.710
to fill it with white, which is your background color.

0:02:25.710,0:02:29.940
To delete the selection, Ctrl or Cmd + D.

0:02:29.940,0:02:34.709
Make a copy of your image by pressing
Ctrl...

0:02:34.709,0:02:38.920
or Cmd + J. Go to "Filter"...

0:02:38.920,0:02:42.870
and "Filter Gallery". Open the "Sketch" folder

0:02:42.870,0:02:46.940
and click "Halftone Pattern". Make the Size, 1...

0:02:46.940,0:02:50.990
the Contrast, 40 and the Pattern Type, Dot.

0:02:50.990,0:02:55.140
Depending on the characteristics of YOUR photo, you may want to adjust the

0:02:55.140,0:02:56.010
Contrast

0:02:56.010,0:03:00.180
amount. There should be a good balance of
shadow and highlight

0:03:00.180,0:03:03.319
with just enough midtones as halftone
dots.

0:03:03.319,0:03:08.490
Click OK to accept it. Go to "Filter"...

0:03:08.490,0:03:12.000
"Sharpen"..and "Smart Sharpen".

0:03:12.000,0:03:15.050
Make the Amount, 500%...

0:03:15.050,0:03:22.050
the Radius, 1 pixel...keep the Reduce Noise to 0%...and remove Gaussian Blur.

0:03:22.550,0:03:28.280
Then, click OK. We now have a crisp,
black-and-white

0:03:28.280,0:03:32.069
halftone-dot, portrait. Change the blend
mode

0:03:32.069,0:03:36.150
to "Multiply". Go to the New Layer icon

0:03:36.150,0:03:40.300
and Ctrl-click it on a PC or Cmd-click it on a Mac

0:03:40.300,0:03:45.170
to make a new layer below the active layer. We'll fill the empty layer with a

0:03:45.170,0:03:45.870
color

0:03:45.870,0:03:49.459
by clicking on your foreground color to open the Color Picker.

0:03:49.459,0:03:53.440
Pick a color you like for your background. I'll pick

0:03:53.440,0:03:58.410
a dark turquoise. Then, press Enter
or Return.

0:03:58.410,0:04:02.640
Press Alt or Opt + Delete to fill it the color.

0:04:02.640,0:04:07.340
We'll do the skin next. Click on the
foreground color box.

0:04:07.340,0:04:11.480
For this example, I'll type in F 7 C

0:04:11.480,0:04:16.120
E B 7.

Open your Pencil tool by pressing

0:04:16.120,0:04:19.530
"B" on your keyboard. To increase its size,

0:04:19.530,0:04:22.550
press the Right bracket key.

0:04:22.550,0:04:26.560
Now paint in areas of the skin on your
subject.

0:04:26.560,0:04:29.960
Don't be concerned right now with the colors of other areas of the face and

0:04:29.960,0:04:30.860
neck

0:04:30.860,0:04:34.040
like the eyes, lips, clothing or jewelry.

0:04:34.040,0:04:38.860
We'll paint them in over the skin. If you want to paint back in a color,

0:04:38.860,0:04:42.780
press "i" on your keyboard to open the Eyedropper tool.

0:04:42.780,0:04:47.070
Click on the color, press "B" again to open your Pencil tool

0:04:47.070,0:04:50.560
and paint over those areas.

0:04:50.560,0:04:54.360
To paint in white for the eyes and jewelry,

0:04:54.360,0:04:57.910
I'll invert the foreground and
background colors by pressing

0:04:57.910,0:05:01.130
"X" on my keyboard. Now, I have white

0:05:01.130,0:05:06.000
as my foreground color. To decrease the size of your pencil,

0:05:06.000,0:05:09.030
press the Left bracket key.

0:05:09.030,0:05:12.220
I'll paint over the eyes,

0:05:12.220,0:05:15.780
earrings and necklace and then,

0:05:15.780,0:05:20.120
pick different colors for the lips and eye shadow.

0:05:20.120,0:05:23.180
Have fun transforming photos of someone you know

0:05:23.180,0:05:28.070
into pop art portraits. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.
