How To Create A “Pop Art Like” Image In 4 Easy Steps

Very nice man, helpful.

Keep it up =)

Peace.

hey mate . i like the work. and i happen to know the artist behind this so called pop art. but i know pop art is based on manual coloring well when it first started.
but there are any ways to get that result and you suer did find the fasstest way to achive that result.

i think u dont have a life..mr patrick thanx for making tutrials for me, another copy cat..after 3 days satchi&satchi/london will rcv a letter from my lawyer cuz all my works are copyrighted, ur blog will be shut down very soon..

i will send this link 2 all my customers
2 c how my work is getting famous :), ppl start doing tutrials,thats sweet :) but this is not that way im doing it but 3adii at least ur helping me..

Anwar, yes you are going to become very famous… One minute you are happy and the other grumpy, you like the tutorial or you don’t?

Copyrights? You have copyrights? From Farco and Red Rooster too? :) Do you want me to remove your image? I’m a man of my word, always, say the word and I will remove it, got no problem with that.

lol its that easy????

Its that easy ;)

i love the work. but i personally never use preset brushes or preset filters i create from scratch. 100 percent Original.

Ya i have a copyrights for all my works :) even the red rooster! but it seems u spent all ur night trying 2 figure out how i did this thing an ur telling me u have a life? at least i did something new in my life..at least i didnt use a shutterstock image as a full page or a unipole..elso i didnt use others work and start 2 copy it, now i knew who u r! mr copy cat ! keeep trying mr patrick an soon u will be selling chicles.. anyways thanx for doing tutorial for my work..ur good in tutorials..i have a new thing can u do a tutorial for me? ppl r trying 2 copy the mona lisa but no one got the same result…*edited comment – bad or strong language removed*

Adam: that’s the right way mate, but our buddy Anwar here, refuse to admit that he uses presets and brushes in his work.

Anwar: It took me 10 minutes to do the artwork and 15 minutes to do the tutorial.

I will never sell such work (are you kidding me?), I don’t do such work to begin with and if I was to do so, I would be honest and say I have used presets and brushes.

Even though advertising work has nothing to do with this subject, using shutter stock images is completely legal and accepted in the advertising business, that’s why there are photography stocks in the world and a lot of big agencies uses them, its all around you.

And look who is talking, Mr Original, all of your work that you call “Pop Art” is a big fat imitation, specially the Farco Can, which is an imitation of the famous Campbell Soup idea by Andy Warhol

On another note, keep your comments subjective and respectful or I will make sure you never comment on this blog. Enjoy the tutorial, send it to your clients and friends as you said, let them see your “original work” and btw, you are spending as much time as I am on this, so who seems to have a “busy” life now?

he call that pop art? anyone can do this pop art is not done like that

Hahahaha this is hilarious! First of all Patrick, this post/tutorial is brilliant. Second of all, I love how the “artist” is flipping himself. He’s been exposed and he doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

As you said in your post and as “colors” wrote above, this isn’t really pop art. And to top it all off, to use pre-set filters like this, to produce a work in 5 minutes, and then still call it pop art is a joke. Andy Warhol is rolling around in his grave in disgust. As an exercise in using Illustrator or even just to create a simple image like this is fine. But don’t call it pop art, and DON’T think it’s original and worthy of a copyright! LOL!

Clearly the guy who did this has no life if he is sitting around producing works like this and trying to pass them off as genuine, original pop art. Pop art or not, even the whole theme of using old Kuwaiti images and colouring them up has already been done – to much better effect than this guy – by Hamad al-Saab and Ali Sultan. So in every way this guy’s work is derivative and imitative. And he’s calling you a copy cat. What a wake up call for him this must be! Normally I would encourage budding artists who are experimenting around and trying new techniques, but clearly this guy thinks he is an established artist and so that makes his work open to some real criticism. Welcome to the creative world! If you can’t take it, you shouldn’t be here.

Nice one “Mr. Patrick.”

giggling thanks, I agree about Hamad Al-Saab and Ali Sultan. I would of also strongly encourage Anwar and support him only if he would of been honest by admitting that he used presets instead of insulting me and ranting about my work when I told him that his work is good but it would be better if he does everything from scratch, all by himself without auto trace or presets.

He and his work will never make it anywhere with such an attitude.

u can ask ur dude adam about me an about the way i work.

Using shutter stock images in advertising is something bad and unprofessional..its either ur not creative or ur working in a baqala.. live tracing is something legal 2 ,why r u making it a big deal? at least i did something new mr patrick..i didnt copy others work a start showing how they did it ;) but its seems my work is getting u crazy cuz if its not u wouldnt make a tutorial for it, but u dont have anything 2 do only looking at my work.

Again thanx for the tutorial & keep trying..

cheers,
Anwar Ghader

im using the red rooster cuz its a known snack in kuwait ‘ba6a & daqoos’ , it took u 10mins? ya right ! cuz u have been trying since last week! im imitating andy warhole an its sumthing good cuz hes a legend for me! but ur imitating me an im happy for that ! at least i have a style an ur teaching it :), do sumthing new mr patrick its better than taking others works an start showing how they did it ;)

u didnt say anything about the concept, colors and the negative space..

So now you admit that you have used auto trace and presets? That’s great, my mission is accomplished.

No one was saying that there is anything wrong with using auto trace, I told you from the beginning that its completely fine. But you got angry and started to become offensive. Now I am glad that you have finally admitted the truth.

it took me 10 minutes to do this artwork (I don’t lie, I am honest) + the tutorial proves it smarty smarty.

For future references, as an artist you have to be honest about the way you produce work and your techniques because people will always be able to tell if you are not telling the truth, so its always better to be honest. That is all I wanted to say.

Oh and I don’t need to ask about you, I all ready know enough about your way of work (and so does a lot of people now) ;)

This is SOOO funny, Patrick you are wasting your time on this guy!

when u first comment on my art work i didnt say anything cuz u have the right 2 say anything u want ..but when u start following me from a blog 2 another u showed me that ur trying 2 attack me..

i didnt say that i used auto trace ! maybe u got the same effect in auto trace..u can c the difference between me an urs anyways wait for the latter an enjoy the last days for ur blog.

by the way my work got the highest number of comments on ur blog :) so everyone knows what thats mean.. :)

i dont have time 2 answer ur friends comments cuz they dont mean anything 2 me.

u cant use my art works an even my name on ur blog without asking me so if u dont remove them u know what i can do …
again its copyrighted

cheers,
anwar ghader

Of course it does not mean anything to you, you only want positive feedback. I commented twice on your work, and I did that because you are not beeing honest. You just embarass yourself with every reply you post.

I am not selling or making profits from your artwork, that for copyrights don’t apply. I will remove your original image but keep your name and the link to where its posted on other blogs.

Until then, I hope you learned your lesson for not being honest.

that when hell of nut that just cracked …

Heh, Patrick you just made something simple even more straightforward.

*gets his pop-corn and observes silently*

Stop chewing so loudly! Enjoy the show :)

Yes, it is a waste of time to deal with people like this. But sometimes you come across a person that is in real need of a wake up call, and from everything I’m reading here I really think this Anwar guy is one of those people and I think this post is exactly what he needs. It’s entertaining (although somewhat sad) to see how delusional some people actually are.

Anwar: First of all, there is absolutely NO difference between your work and the one Patrick produced with the tutorial. I just tried it and got the EXACT SAME ink spatter that’s on yours, with one click! It is identical down to the most minute detail. You are digging yourself into an endless hole here.

And as for telling Patrick “u didnt say anything about the concept, colors and the negative space…” – I’ll say something about those if you want. With regard to concept: this is not pop art. Pop art, as a conceptual approach, is about taking images and objects from popular culture and transforming them into works of art by removing them from their original context. It is about originality and innovation, neither of which you presented in your work. Next, colours: Yeah, what about the colours? Using colours the way you did with all these presets takes no more skill or effort than a child filling in a colouring book (in fact, that’s being unfair to the child). And as for negative space: that’s what you’ve got in between your ears.

And about your legal rantings: as long as someone gives credit to your work and as long as they are not profiting from it, they can display it on a blog. If you do not want your work displayed and critiqued, don’t place it in the public sphere. The first failure of a self-proclaimed “artist” is the inability to accept criticism. Your threats against this blog are more legally precarious than this post.

You seem to have missed the point of this post, Anwar. You keep saying that you are honored that Patrick imitated your work, and “at least i did something new mr patrick..i didnt copy others work.” First of all, you did copy other people’s work: Andy Warhol’s, and Hamad Saab & Ali Sultan. Second, Patrick didn’t COPY your work out of admiration for your “style,” he EXPOSED your work for what it is.

Andy “Warhole” is a legend to you? If that’s true, learn how to SPELL HIS NAME!!

you’ve got a nice & clear tutorial bro! :)

LMFAO!

i see this being about much more than ridiculing an “artist”. there is some behind the scenes beef with this anwar guy and its obvious by looking at these blogs.

He is rude, he insults, lies about techniques, cannot go into descent debates and does not accept negative feedback.

NICE WORK ANWAR AND KEEP IT UP :D ;)
