Pop Art Portraits

WPAP or which is known Wedha Pop Art Portraits is a illustration portrait of men and usually a well-known figure. This style of pop art were using a lot of vibrant color which is formed from the imaginary lines firmly where the shape of the face but the position and proportions are still the same as the original portrait by tracing it. This is one of my piece back in high school where we learnt about pop art that time. We are allowed to choose any portraits we want and it can be any gender ( the teacher did not give any limitation). What I choose is a portrait of Itano Tomomi. She is a Japanese idol group, AKB48 and also a model of Japanese magazine.

We are using corel draw program to trace the portrait and put a vibrant color into it, since the teacher did not allowed us to use soft color. So I used green for the face color. Green is soft yet catchy then I also put purple and blue color to tone the face. Because the face itself already green in color, so I could not use any other relating color for the eye bags. Therefore, I used pink and yellow to showoff the eye part of the portrait does not feel to faint in color because the eye ball itself was already dark brown in color so to show it off we must use more vibrant color. For the lips I combined pink and red color also brown color for the lip shadow. Lastly for the hair part, I used brown color to tone from light to dark brown and put a bit purple because purple make the dark effect in painting. 

Pop Art itself is not that hard to learnt. The hardest part is to trace the detail of the hair and eye ball. Despite of it, we cannot forget about those quote says "Practice makes Perfect". Keep practicing and aim for the best!
