Pop-art Calligraphy DIANA

Basically I am an abstract painter in the sense that I could not imagine how the final form of the painting that I created. I do the painting in a traditional way or using a computer as well with a digital painting method.

I make abstract paintings from scratches of calligraphic marks or graffiti shapes at random which I used to do as a way to bypass the time when I was caught in a high emotional tension. I do not exactly make any plan to my paintings but mostly done with experimental result. Depending on the mood that occurs when the painting is created, at last I have to decide whether to let it as supposed to be or make a combination or mixed with other more realistic subject such as shape of a face, a figure or a building architecture in order to produce a form of creative drawing or painting.

I wish a beauty exists in my paintings which can make emotional bond between the viewers and the paintings so that they will continually keep watching my paintings.

How To Make Pop-art Portrait Drawing

How to make a pop-art style portrait drawing ??.., To make a graphic image pop-art style portrait drawing is done by first making up the sketch or outlining the face of the figure in the referenced portrait or picture with lines or paths in accordance with the gradation and shape of the flesh, then fill the closed path drawing with the colour based on your inner intuition and mood as to how the pop-art drawing should appear.

I do making many trials and errors to experiment with colour mixing and combination, play my art mood to my intuition and satisfaction to get needed artistic drawing regarded as pop-art portrait drawing.

There are many techniques to use the graphic illustrator program to make pop-art style drawing, one of a good reference source for pop-art portrait drawing technique is a tutorial article in blog PopBox WPAP which explained a technique used to make pop-art graphic drawing called as “WPAP” or Wedha’s Pop Art Portrait style.

Pop-art Portrait Drawing In Graphic

This blog is about pop-art portrait drawing and the service I offered to commission a pop-art portrait drawing or sketch in graphic.

To draw a pop-art portrait graphic image is not that difficult to start and what you need to do is just having a laptop or computer desktop with graphic illustrator program in it like Adobe Illustrator, Coreldraw or an open source program like Inkscape. Find an image from photo or picture you are interested to have it being drawn in pop-art style drawing and then load it in your computer as digital image to be used later for a based reference source in making pop-art style portrait drawing or sketch.

Below is an example of the different results of pop-art style image drawing from a photo of “Mabel” my grand daughter. You may get the results are quite different from an artist doing pop-art portraiture drawing in a traditional way with coloured pencil as compared to doing with the vector based illustration program.
