Pop Art Portraits are hip art forms especially for your loved ones. Your friends will indeed be impressed by the unusual gift of a pop art portrait. A pop-art portrait is a personal gift your friends will surely treasure for the rest of their lives. Giving gifts today no longer requires you to spend lots of money. All you need to have is just creativity and you will go a long way.

Pop art became an art movement of the 20th century. Pop Art has been described as a visual representation of modern commodities. The artist would add up his expression to jazz up and give the picture a different meaning. Marilyn Monroe for instance (the visual commodity) is transformed into pop art. The artist would then put colors or different pastel backgrounds to jazz up the picture.

Even if your friend is not a visual representation of modern commodities, you can jazz his picture up and turn it into an art form following the pop art style. Simply choose a soft copy of a picture with him in it, and then use a graphics software in outlining his facial features.

It is actually more of tracing just the most dominant features. A simple nostril outline is all that is required for the nose. Place importance on the iris when drawing the eyes. After tracing, you put color in the picture as well as detail until complete.

You can manipulate the portrait and put a different background. You can also transfer faces onto celebrity bodies for a lighter, funnier style of pop art. For a lively feel, you can color the portrait with pastel shades. Putting earth colors would add a warm feeling. You can also choose simple black and white for a more classic feel.

Family photos are a good choice for Pop Art Portraits. Simply use the faces of family to get an instant classic gift.

Turn your pop art portraits into canvas prints for a better finish. Canvas dimensions are completwetly your choice, meaning you control the costing. You can have the artwork rolled in a tube or stretched over a frame ready to be displayed. Loved ones can be remembered forever in a modern format.

Almost any size can be achieved as a canvas print using todays modern technology. Only a few days is all that is required to produce your artwork. Modern large format inkjet printers make the job easier without compromising color and quality.

Pop art can also be used in marketing or advertising campaigns and not just as a gift. There are no limits to the uses and making them is simple and fun.
