# Pop art portraits
Photoshoppers,

I've knocked up a tutorial showing how to make pop art-style portraits. I think they look good, especially considering my lack of any artistic talent.

If you do one of your own, please could you send me a copy? I'd love to replace my examples with some really good ones!

The 'tutorial' is at www.family-portrait-artists.com but it's aimed at novices/idiots.

# Opietastic
For some idiot reason I sent it to Opie. He said he was getting fed up with people messing with his work.

I agree - I'm rubbish at the mouths. I try to add those second lines but they look like they've got weird lower-lip 'taches. That's one of the many reasons I'd like others to have a go.

# i dunno
its a common visual style nowadays... which makes it seem less like art i suppose. he does good moving animation walking stuff nowadays i think.

Many a pair of glasses have been broken trying to bend them into shape.

Bless. Don't say things like that, I might develop a complex.

# Lovely!
Reminds me of those set designs for that show with Jimmy Carr that I conveniently forgot the name of.

# Nice one
Nice one, ThankYou. I like your picture.

I'd forgotten that they'd copied it for that rubbish Friday evening show.

I'm going to wash the dishes now, so please email me your attempts and I'll stick them on the site tomorrow morning. My contact link is at the bottom of the webpage.
