Warhol-Style Selfmade

After having a look on some of the famous Andy Warhol works, the colourized portraits which have become a symbol of pop art and have been copied in every thinkable way. (Just have a look at my post some time ago), I got the idea to do something similar with a portrait of myself.

The steps are quite simple:

• First you need a good picture with sufficient contrast and if possible a rather plain background.

• Next step is to convert it into a simple black and white image, I used the photoshop function Image -> Treshold. You have to experiment a bit with the value in order to get a recognizable result

• Then comes the fun part to play around - colourize the pictures. In this case I decided just to use one colour for one picture and leave the outlines black.

And thats it:
