WARHOL_Assignment

Multiple Portrait Illustration - Fine ART

In this assignment, you will be working as an FINE ARTIST to create a multi-image digital PORTRAIT.
Here you will find the steps to create an Andy Warhol inspired

You will select a portrait image, crop it tightly while keeping some of the background, then
uniquely color several times in the style of Andy Warhol.

Your OBJECTIVE in this assignment is to continue to familiarize yourself with:

The WORKSPACE
CROPPING an image
LAYER MASKING
Making SELECTIONS
LAYERS, LAYER GROUPS and LAYER BLENDING MODES
and SAVING your files

1. HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGE

Search for a HIGH-RESOLUTION image to use for your project - or better yet, use your own photograph for this project!

To find files that have Higher-Resolution,

Do your Google IMAGE SEARCH
then choose TOOLS
Then choose LARGE
Choose a picture that is a "Head and shoulders portrait"
Hover your mouse over the IMAGE and make sure it has enough pixels - This image is 2559 x 1439. The smallest number is at least 1000 so it's good!
Right Click the image you like and choose...
Save image as... to download to your computer or if you are on a Chromebook to your GOOGLE DRIVE

2. OPEN your image

For this assignment you will be opening your picture DIRECTLY into PHOTOSHOP so you can work.

Choose OPEN in the MENU or on the left of your WORKSPACE or simply DRAG and DROP your image file directly into PHOTSHOP
Navigate to the image your found and choose OPEN - the image file will either be in your DOWNLOADS folder or in your GOOGLE DRIVE (Chromebook)
Then SAVE YOUR FILE (FILE > SAVE AS) and MAKE SURE IT IS SAVED AS a .PSD (Photoshop Document File)
If it asks for MAXIMIZE COMPATIBILITY click OK!

3. CROP Your IMAGE

Here is where you will create an EMPTY LAYER in the LAYERS PANEL to create the EYE illustration.

Your PANELS are on the right side
Find the LAYERS PANEL
You can adjust your WORKSPACE to suit how you work - here you see me move the LAYERS PANEL and hide any PANELS that I won't need.
Click the SMALL + on the bottom to make an empty layer
Name the layer EYE by double-clicking the text
Make sure this empty layer is selected to paint!

LAYER Visibility - ZOOM TOOL - HAND TOOL

Use the ZOOM TOOL to see small details and zoom out to get the whole picture.
The HAND TOOL allows you to move your zoomed image around the WORKSPACE
You can make your LAYERS VISIBLE or INVISIBLE when you click on the EYE Icon in the LAYERS PANEL
SAVE as you go!

PAINTING your EYE

Make sure you are painting on your transparent layer
Use your EYEDROPPER TOOL to select exact colors from your image
Switch to your BRUSH TOOL to apply small areas of color
Use your SMUDGE TOOL to blend colors (the SMUDGE TOOL can be found under the BLUR TOOL - hold your mouse button until the other tools are revealed.
You will slowly develop a technique that works for you!
If you smudge too much, your color becomes transparent...
You can add more than one LAYER if this helps you work.

Keyboard Shortcuts...

Hold the ALT KEY to make your BRUSH turn into the EYEDROPPER
The [ ] KEYS change your brush size
The SPACEBAR turns your tool into the HAND TOOL
ctrl + Zooms in ctrl - Zooms out

ONLY WHEN YOU ARE DONE! - SAVE yOUR FILE AS A jpeg

In the MENU commands -

FIRST, make your original EYE picture INVISIBLE in the LAYERS PANEL by clicking on the EYE ICON
In this example, the student added 2 LAYERS to work...
Choose FILE
then SAVE AS... (FILE > SAVE AS...)
then NAME your file properly (PORTRAIT_LastName)
then choose "Save as type" .JPEG (*JPG;*JPEG;*JPE)
JPEG OPTIONS window choose 8 HIGH with the slider
If MAXIMIZE COMPATIBILITY window opens, choose OK!
