How to Photoshop Pop Art Inspired by Lichtenstein

Link: Pop Art Inspired by Lichtenstein - Online Tutorial

If you are a fan of pop art then you're probably already well acquainted with the work Roy Lichtenstein. Roy Lichtenstein became one of the leading pop artists of the sixties with his comic-strip paintings. Drowning Girl 1963, shown left, is one of his better known works and is a good example of the design features in his most famous pieces. Notice the thick lines, bold colors, and thought bubble. His work also often included boxed captions and words such as "WHAAM!", commonly found in comic books.

Benday dots were Lichtenstein's trademark. Benday dots are a printing process which combines two (or more) different small, coloured dots to create a third colour. Back in the day, pulp comic books used benday dots in primary colours to inexpensively create the secondary colours such as flesh tone.

You can create the benday dot effect by using the Colour Halftone filter found in Photoshop, however in this tutorial I'm going to show you a way to create a fantastic looking black and white Halftone Pattern. "Why?", because I like the look of it better.

I have a really cool picture of my 4 year old son staring wistfully at a Lichtenstein picture. I also enjoyed your piece at 'Dark Trees about the "doyen". We lack access to art here in Idaho. However, I did really enjoy a showing at BAM on the works of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Try Organic Milk. I won't buy anything else. Also, check out some of the new New Zealand white wines I find them to be quite "Sassy".

BTW- your comments page is down on 'Dark Trees.

Good to here from you and thank you for the link. Check out the radio network I am working on by clciking on the live stream: http://www.frxdomradio.com

They don't really care about your health and use television to sell you sleeping pills that are addictive, dangerous and easily abused. This is the same FDA that lies and says that marijuana has no medical value!! In my experience marijuana.
A great article indeed and a very detailed, realistic and superb analysis, of this issue, very nice write up, Thanks.
