  4. Megan says:

    It can’t be that modern… it’s decades old. Still, I think a bit too cliche, especially since the Warhol Effect is overrused in moderm day.

    This is a terrible tutorial especially for beginners. It doesn’t say “how” to do any of the steps.

  12. lla says:

    this art look awful

  13. Person who actually knows how to use photoshop says:

    the tutorial doesnt even do it right.
    andy warhol tutorial for more advanced people:
    1) crop picture to head shot
    2) use pen tool to create vector outline of head and shoulders (or the magic wand if you suck at pen tool, if using wand, disregard step 3)
    3) make a selection from path and deselect the path
    4) Shift+Ctrl+I to select inverse and delete
    5)convert to grayscale and use brightness/contrast adjustments to take away mid-tones
    6) go to filter-artistic-cutout and apply
    7)convert back to RGB and apply layer style-color overlay of choice
    8)create new layer under background layer and fill wih color of your choice

    This is fairly simple if you are familiar with photoshop. I hope this is more helpfull than this terrible tutorial above. For ?’s email at bobkelso76@yahoo.com

    I love Andy warhol and i am studying pop art for my GCSE’s but am not allowed to use him because he is overused. I think this way of doing his pictures is cool ! 😀 but i dont think I will ever use it ! xx

  17. Andy says:

    You can make it with GIMP much easier!!!

  18. Emily says:

    Using his style in my art exam 🙂

  19. Saul Estrada says:

    I think it’s also important to remember that Andy Warhol used color harmonies in his designs. If you want your piece to be truly reminiscent of an Andy Warhol painting, make sure you do your homework on color harmonies, aka color schemes. Otherwise, your design will look unguided and immature. Also, make sure there’s no space between each picture, the colors should not only be harmonic within the individual pictures, but also “attempt” to balance the entire composition as a whole.

    I like his art work its very original. If anyone needs any help with coursework just use this as infomation:
    Andrew Warhola more commonly known as Andy Warhol, was an American painter, printmaker, and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, avant-garde filmmaker, record producer, author, and public figure known for his membership in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy aristocrats. Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and was born on August 6, 1928 and he died on February 22, 1987 (aged 58).
    His most famous works depicted Campbell’s soup cans. Enlarged, hand-painted or silkscreened, framed, and hung in an art gallery, Warhol succeeded in turning these mundane images into ironic “art”. Warhol experimented in media such as film, sculpture, paint, and silkscreen, but perhaps his greatest work was his invention of himself as an international celebrity and pop culture icon.

  46. Nerhu says:

    This is a nice website that has helped me with the photoshop but art is not supposed to be done on a computer yet it is intruging to differ from the common artist.:)

  47. Nerhu says:

    Everyone has an Artist in them and they show it in many different ways but Andy Warhol has a unique way of showing it!
