Andy Warhol It

Andy Warhol It

This is my original picture that I'm going to edit.

I dragged the background layer pressing down the Alt key onto the new layer button and then renamed it to ‘Cut Away’. This is the layer that I will change because the other one is locked so I can’t edit that.

I used the magic wand tool on the cut away layer to get rid of the white background so that I was just left with just me with a blank background.

Then I added a background behind the outline of me so that it stands out. Then changed the colour of it, I will make 4 final pictures but just with different colours so I will change the background 4 times.

I then changed the threshold of my image and had to change the amount so you could see some of my features and it wasn’t to dark or to light.

I traced around my face with the pen tool and when I did this it made a new layer automatically. When I joined up the pen line I pressed crtl+alt+j.

When I pressed ctrl+alt+j it came up with a new layer and then I named it face because that’s what I traced around.

I then was on the new layer I named face and I change the fill.

Then I clicked on the layer I named face and clicked on the drop down menu called blend and changed it to multiply.

This is what it looks like when I changed the blend mode to multiply.

This is the final image I created. I used the pen tool to go round each different shape and changed them all to different colours.

I changed the colour again of all the original shapes I’d traced around to make 4 of the same image but in different colours.

Then I saved the four pictures as a JPEG and saved just them in a new folder. Then I opened Photoshop again went on file then automate and contact sheet. Then I browsed and found the new folder where I saved my 4 pictures and changed the rows and columns to two up and two down.

This is my final image I created
