1. Create a rectangle along the outline of the sheet. 2. Import the image, Place it behind the rectangle (Shift + Page Down).
3. Take the Bezier Curve tool and start tracing the main parts: face, neck, hair.
4. We begin to draw the details, since I like to draw eyes, I started with them. Outlined the eyelashes, filled the upper ones with black, and the lower ones a tone lighter.
5. Shading for proteins - gradient, from gray, yellowish and light blue shades. The pupil is black, the cornea is the color of the eyes, a small shadow is on top.
6. We draw contours of spots on cheeks, lips and shadows near lips.
7. Now let's move on to the nose, it is important to correctly convey the shape, draw spots of shadow and light.
8. Draw lips.
9. Add the ears.
10. Draw the neck.
11. We select the tone of the face and lips close to natural. We send to the back. You can move frequently used keys to the toolbar. To do this, go to the Tools / Manufacturing tab, find the necessary buttons and simply drag them to the workspace. Drag the next ones to the first one. Click OK. Place the panel wherever you like.
12. Make the main color of the neck a little darker than the face.
13. We paint the eyelids.
14. When in doubt about the choice of tone, stand on the main figure of the face, make it almost completely transparent using Interactive Transparency, look at the details of interest to you and when you find desired color for detail, make the face opaque again. To do this, select None from the Transparency pop-up list. 15. Add color to the cheeks and shadows around the mouth. Remember that the tone of all shadows and light should be repelled from the main one.
16. We take the shape of the nose and the area around the eyes.
17. Make voluminous lips.
18. We paint the transitions on the neck.
19. If necessary, make highlights on the light side of the face and neck.
20. Draw light and dark strands of hair depending on the lighting.
21. Add shadows and details on clothes, decorations. In this case, I drew only earrings. 22. When the drawing is ready, remove the image, group all the objects except for the rectangle. Fill the rectangle with the desired color.
23. In principle, this can be finished, but if you wish, you can add a frame with a pattern. To do this, again select the Bezier Tool and draw simple twigs and leaves.
24. And now with the help of Distortion (Distortion by twisting) we twist each object from the middle or edge. To do this, press and pull in the right direction until you like it, then release.
25. From these pieces we add a branch, fill it in the desired color.
26. Adding an Outer Path in One Step.
27. Insert the girl into the container of the rectangle. To do this, look in Effects - PowerClip - Place inside and point to the rectangle with an arrow.
28. We put a branch in the lower right corner of the picture, copy it and place it in the upper left, turn it 180 degrees.
29. Insert into the same container as the girl. It should turn out like this.
30. Draw a frame from a larger and smaller rectangle. We choose both. Click crop on the property bar. Fill with pattern color.
It should turn out like this.
That's all! I hope you liked the lesson.
Tuts+ is proud to present you with a vector tutorial from a true legend, Wedha Abdul Rasyid.
Wedha, originally from Indonesia, created his work in the early 1990s traditional methods, and then, in the early 2000s, switched to computer graphics. Vector was the obvious choice for such a vibrant geometric style.
Since then, it has gained a lot of popularity in Indonesia, with communities dedicated to creating and displaying WPAP style portraits having been formed with over a thousand members! With the resurgence of the geometric trend, it is fair to say that WPAP could take Indonesia to new level in several aspects of design.
Below is a tutorial on creating a WPAP (Wedha's Pop Art Portrait) portrait in Adobe Illustrator by the WPAP master himself!
1. Introduction to the WPAP Process
The main goal of WPAP is to present familiar faces in a new, unfamiliar style, but at the same time it should still be easily recognizable. Unusual in the sense that it's more unique, more dynamic, more striking and, of course, I hope more visually appealing.
With that in mind creative process WPAP is based on two parts; splitting the image into faces and the coloring process. I do these two processes at the same time when creating a new portrait.
Breaking into Edges
Analyzing the image, I break the face into edges. Each facet (plane) is formed based on varying degrees of dark and light areas of the original photo. Each face is formed from straight lines instead of curved ones. The reason is that the edges formed by straight lines appear more expressive than those formed by curved lines.
Before we begin, we need to first see a person's face as a shape made up of many flat surfaces, like the sphere in the picture below. This is the best way to describe the faceting process.
Dyeing Process
In coloring for expressiveness, I use only solid colors instead of gradients. Although the colors look like they blend into each other, you need to try to make the image three-dimensional.
Specialists classify colors into groups. There are groups of hot, warm and cold colors. Think of color in terms of dark and light tones, ignoring their actual hue. Think about the colors of the highlights, midtones, and shadows. The contrast of these groups helps us get a three-dimensional composition. If you have chosen a color from the correct group, then you will get the expected result. It is very important to experiment with color.
2. Preparing Your Document
Step 1
The faceting process is based on the outline of the photo. The choice of photograph is very important, because a good high quality photo With sharp image, good lighting and resolution will help you create a great WPAP portrait.
Choose a photo with even lighting, without an excess of shadows and lights. Also make sure the photo is in focus. For this tutorial, I will be creating a portrait of my beloved granddaughter, Ola.
Step 2
Open Adobe Illustrator and create New document ( File > New). Set the size and other settings as shown in the figure below.
Step 3
Go to menu File > Place and place your original photo in the working field of the program. Fasten photo layer and then Create a New Layer over it. Here we will make our edges.
3. Creation of the First Forms
Step 1
I usually start the process of stroking the areas with the most pronounced separation of dark and light tones. This will make it easier to draw. I start with small areas. In this case, these will be the eyes and the areas adjacent to them.
By using Rectangle Tool(M) I circle the blurred highlight in the photo in the iris zone of the eye. This shape will only be filled with color, no stroke. All faces will be in this style.
Step 2
In the original photo, the edges of the iris, pupil, and eyelids have dark color, and it is quite easy to determine the boundaries of this region. I will outline this area, this time using Pen Tool (P).
Step 3
Of course, the highlight you painted earlier will now be hidden under the new layer. To make it visible while the iris and eyelid are selected, you will need to go to Object > Arrange > Send to Back. At this stage, the white of the eye has clear edges, so you can easily create a facet of the desired shape. Further it will be more difficult.
4. Creating More Complex Shapes
Step 1
Now we will trace the nearest areas next to the previous objects. Unfortunately, there are no clear boundaries between dark and light areas. This will make it difficult to create forms for the portrait.
In this case, you will need to intuitively determine the boundaries for the form. Good knowledge of anatomy human face and a high-quality source image will become indispensable helpers here.
Create your shape with straight borders at the corner of the eyelid, overlapping the edge of the eye so that there are no gaps between them. Just as before, distribute the forms in place using Object > Arrange > Send to Back.
Step 2
We ran into the same problem again; lack of clear boundaries. You will again have to create them yourself. Notice how I created a slightly less square shape this time and positioned it so that the lash shadow is more visible. You will find similar shapes with the same creation method throughout the tutorial.
Step 3
You will encounter this problem more and more often. This will be a boring and tedious process, but it's the only way to create a proper WPAP portrait. You might consider using Posterizing or Live Trace, but I don't use them because they don't work.
Step 4
We will still find fuzzy and invisible borders for each shape. The best way overcoming this problem is the numerous experience of creating portraits in this style.
The process is the same:
- Draw a plane with Pen Tool (P) using only straight lines.
- Fill it with a suitable color, taking into account the effect of light.
- Plane selection and reorganization Object > Arrange > Send to Back.
All portraits will use different plane shapes, so I'll only show the ones I used for Ola's portrait. I start by drawing shapes around the eye.
Step 5
Then I work on the shapes for the second eye and nose. Then I connect these parts with edges and add white edges for especially lit places.
Step 6
I use more large forms for less detailed areas such as the cheeks and neck.
Step 7
I begin to draw hair with thin, almost parallel, planes located diagonally. Remember to avoid curved lines at any cost.
As you can see, I like to make faces with vertical and horizontal sides. It fixes overall composition and style. I prioritize portrait likeness, which is the most important element.
5. Play With Color
This is what my final work looks like after a few tweaks. most difficult part WPAP process is right choice colors. If this is your first time working with this style, then this can be a big problem for you.
Step 1
Start coloring in shades of gray, so you can easily see which areas are dark and which are light. After that, you can add colors in the process, however, if you do not use the full color spectrum, then the portrait will not turn out to be expressive.
Step 2
We can try playing with color to create contrast. Use Illustrator's Recolor Artwork to experiment with different color combinations.
Great Job, Wedha!
We'd like to thank Wedha for his wonderful tutorial and for sharing his unique style of portraiture. He is a great example of how traditional direction in art is transferred to vector format and has a big impact on our vector communities. We are extremely inspired!
Did you create a portrait in this style? If so, please share your creation with us!
Today we are going to create our own "vector" portrait in Photoshop that you can easily use as a personal avatar on Facebook, Skype or even on your own website.
While we'll be using an image from a free resource to take the portrait, you can do the same with your own photo, just make sure the image is in high resolution and pretty big size, so you can see details, shadows, and color changes. Now that you've learned some important information, fire up Photoshop and let's get started.
There are thousands of reasons why Photoshop is one of the most preferred graphic programs For graphic designers. The program is powerful, allowing you to create and manipulate images the way you see fit, not to mention the various effects and filters available. Photoshop can be used for many purposes which include creating your portraits. Vector and pixel portraits are so popular that there are even apps that quickly do all the work for you. However, you can do the same in Photoshop and even create a fun color combination to give your portrait a unique look of its own.

Step 1
Before we start turning our photo into a "vector" style portrait, we first need to open it up in Photoshop. You can use the image that you like best, and for this tutorial we will use the photo from the link above.
Step 2
Create a new layer to start working on the skin. Use the color eyedropper to select desired shade skin. In this case, we used the color #ffe0c7. Now that the desired color is selected, use the tool pen tool to outline the face and neck, as shown here.
Once we have the outline of the skin, we can fill it with color.
Continue doing this until all of the skin is outlined and filled with color, as shown below.
Step 3
Create a new hair layer and use the color picker again to select the dominant hair color in your image. If you want to add highlights, you can do so later. For the hair we use #401e12. Just as before, we circle the hair, and then fill this figure.
Step 4
Once again create a new layer on which we will apply the main color of the clothes. Consider only dominant colors. For example, the top will be filled with #3c6844
Step 5
Lower the opacity of the skin layer enough to show the facial features of the original image. Create a new layer for the eyes and change the foreground color to #000000. We begin to circle the upper eyelashes. Remember that you don't have to be very detailed.
Fill our path with the foreground color.
Outline the other eye, and now both eyes are finished.
Step 6
On the same layer, you need to fill the whites of the eyes with color. We simply do this by setting the foreground color to #ffffff and then using the tool paint bucket to fill inside the outlines of the eyes.
Step 7
Create a new layer for the pupil and iris. Temporarily hide the layer with the eye and use the tool Elliptical Marquee Tool to get the correct shape of the iris.
Fill the iris with #7b7648.
Now fill the pupil with #000000 and the highlights with #ffffff.
Step 8
We have to select parts like eyelids and nose. To do this, simply use the colors on the face to create the shapes, in other words, take the same shades that are on the facial features. Create a new layer and change the foreground color to #fec2a6. We start to circle the nose.
Fill it in and continue until we have the shape of the nose.
Step 9
Use the same color as on the hair to fill in the eyebrows after tracing them.
Step 10
Set the foreground color to #e6756d and create a new layer. Outline only the contour of the upper lip.
We fill upper lip desired color.
Finish off the lips using #f47f78 for the bottom lip.
Step 11
To give the face a more finished look, we need to add more shadows around the cheeks and jaw.
Fill individual shadows with #dd8561, then lower the opacity to 20%.
Step 12
Continue using #dd8561 to add shadows around the neck and arms as shown below.
Step 13
We want the face to be more defined and less flat, so we're going to add more shadows with the color #f9c19c. Let's start by adding a shadow under the lower lip.
We continue to add more shadows, for example around the eyes and nose.
Lower the opacity to 50%.
Step 14
To make the top look voluminous, we need to use the color #334f38 and add a big shadow to the top of the top.
Lower the opacity to 50% and change the layer mode to soft light.
Step 15
Outline the edges of the hair where you see the need for more shadows.
Create a new layer and fill these areas with #4b1b11 color. Change the layer opacity to 16% and the layer mode to Multiply.
Step 16
Change the foreground color to #ffad95 to add blush to the cheeks. Outline the blush area and create a new layer.
Fill the shapes and set the layer opacity to 24%.
Step 17
Outline the shadows on the eyelids and create a new layer.
Fill the shape with #ea98c8 and lower the opacity to 35%.
Step 18
Add highlights to the skin by tracing around the areas in our photo where the skin is the lightest.
Fill them with #ffffff and lower the opacity to 20%.
Result
Finishing up our design by adding more shadows, details and a background just like we did. You can finish when all the details you need have been added.
As you can see, we have kept our vector portrait fairly basic and close to the original. photographic image. However, you can refine your image. Addendum small parts such as sparkling rhinestones, hair buns and highlights will make your image look fashionable. You can also create your vector portrait in grayscale by varying the hues between black and white, or just go for a limited color selection where one color dominates the rest.
We hope you found this tutorial not only useful, but also inspiring, and as always, good luck with your designs.
The purpose of the lesson
In this lesson we will learn how to create a vector Pop style Art. We will try to reproduce the style of one of the best representatives this trend of Roy Lichtenstein. To create a raster effect and fine tuning apply the plug-in for Adobe Illustrator - Phantasm CS. You can use any photo to complete this tutorial, so why not make your own Pop Art portrait?
Roy Lichtenstein (October 27, 1923 - September 29, 1997) - one of the most famous American artists working in Pop Art style. We will reproduce his style.
Step 1
We will use a photograph as a reference. I took a portrait of Marilyn Monroe. I enjoy working on a portrait of a beautiful woman. You can of course take your photo and create a self-portrait.
Place the photo in the document workspace (File > Place…), then click on the Embed button on the top toolbar
Let's lock the layer with the photo in the layers palette so as not to shift it during the work.
Step 2
Create a new layer above the first layer. In this layer we will work. Now take the Pen Tool (P) and create a face outline.
When performing these steps, you must pass general proportions face, you should not convey all the minor anatomical details of the image. Remember, we are creating a stylized portrait, not a copy of a photo.
Step 3
Using the Pen Tool (P) create the outline of the neck and hair.
Let's replace the stroke of the created objects with a fill and evaluate the harmony of the created shapes. I always do this after manually tracing a sketch or photo.
Continuing manual tracing, I again change the fill and stroke in places or turn off the visibility of the created objects in the layers palette.
Step 4
Let's start creating the eyes. Take the Pen Tool (P) and create a path that conveys the shape of the eye and the shape of the shadow around it (I filled this shape with red color just for clarity)
Creating eyes is the most important work, because we see human eyes every day, and any disproportion will be immediately noticeable. I advise in this work to rely more on your feelings than on photography. Take the Ellipse Tool (L) and create a filled circle blue color and black lining.
This circle will be the iris of the eye. Take the Scissors Tool (C) and cut the circle at points A and B, after which we delete the upper part of the circle.
Now let's connect points A and B using the Pen Tool (P) as shown in the image below.
Step 5
Using the same technique, create the pupil.
Take the Ellipse Tool (L) and create a speck of light on the surface of the eye.
Use the Pen Tool (P) to create the eyelashes, applying a triangular profile from the Stroke palette to the created curves.
In the same way we create the second eye.
Step 6
Based on the photo, create the elements of the mouth. The teeth are filled with a solid white color, such is the style of the work of Roy Lichtenstein. As in all work, simplify the outline, transferring only the main proportions.
I created the highlight on the lower lip with the Pen Tool (P) and applied a suitable profile from the Stroke palette to the line.
Step 7
With the Pen Tool (P) I created the eyebrows, nostrils, and with the Ellipse Tool (L) the mole on the cheek.
Now let's create skin folds near the eyes and nose using the Pen Tool (P) and profiles from the Stroke palette.
Create shadows on the neck.
All elements of the face are ready.
Step 8
Let's start creating stylized hair. This is not an easy task, since Marilyn has a rather complicated hairstyle. In this work, the main thing is to separate (differentiate) curls of hair and understand their direction. I printed out some portraits of Marilyn and tried to create some pencil sketches.
Of course, you can not do this if you do not have such a complicated hairstyle. After these exercises, I confidently took the Pen Tool (P) and created curved lines that convey the direction of the hair.
Now group all the lines and lock the group in the layers palette. We will use this group as a template. Take the Pen Tool (P) and create new lines using the template and apply different profiles to them, setting their width in the Stroke palette.
The template can now be removed.
Step 9
A characteristic feature of the work of Roy Lichtenstein is an exaggerated imitation of the raster. With Phantasm CS at our disposal, we can easily repeat this effect and even experiment a little. Copy the shape of the face and neck and paste them in front (Cmd/Ctrl + C; Cmd/Ctrl + F), fill them with burgundy color and combine them into one shape by pressing the Unite button from the Pathfinder palette.
Move the burgundy shape in the layers palette so that it occupies correct position as shown in the figure below.
Step 10
Keeping this object selected, go to Effect > Phantasm CS > Halftone…. The dialog box contains many options to fine-tune the effect.
To imitate Roy Lichtenstein's style, I set the Grid Angle to 45 degrees and the point shape to circle. The DPI parameter affects the detail of the image, Scale, as you might guess, on the size of the dots. You can watch the effect change by changing the parameters in the dialog box, which is very convenient.
You probably noticed that the dots protrude beyond the contour of the neck, let's hide this effect. Copy the burgundy shape and paste it in front (Cmd/Ctrl + C; Cmd/Ctrl + F), remove the Halftone effect from the Appearance palette.
Now select both burgundy shapes and press Cmd/Ctrl + 7 to create a Clipping Mask.
The Pop Art portrait is ready.
Step 11
Phantasm CS allows you to create a more complex Halftone effect. Let's play with it a little more. Turn off the visibility of the Halftone effect obtained in the previous step, skin folds and shadows on Marilyn's neck.
Move the photo in the layers palette so that it occupies the position indicated in the figure below.
With Phantasm CS you can adjust the levels of a raster image directly in Adobe Illustrator without pre-processing in Photoshop. In addition to being convenient, there is another advantage, which will be discussed a little later. Select the photo and go to Effect > Phantasm CS > Levels…, leave the effect parameters unchanged for now and click on the OK button in the dialog box.
Step 12
12. Now go to Effect > Phantasm CS > Halftone… and set the effect parameters in the dialog box.
Of course, you should not stick to my parameters, because you can create your own unique effect. For example, instead of round dots, you can use squares, lines, Characters, and even Symbols if you have previously saved them in the Symbols palette.
After setting the parameters of the May effect, the work looks like this.
Step 13
Now we can adjust the levels of the bitmap. Open the Appearance palette (Window > Appearance). We can see that our object has two Phantasm CS effects applied to it, which we can customize. Open the Phantasm CS Levels dialog box by clicking on its name in the Appearance palette, control the layer sliders and watch the changes taking place. We got a good result, click on the OK button
Step 14
Let's hide the points that go beyond the outline of the head using the Clipping Mask technique described in step 10.
Step 15
In my opinion, we need to fix some places in our portrait. In the figure below, arrows show problem areas.
Select the object with the effects and go to Object > Expand Appearance
As a result of these actions bitmap turned into a group of vector circles that we can edit (reduce or enlarge) in the usual ways. After editing, the portrait looks like the image below.
Step 16
We just need to create a background. We will use a paper bitmap texture as the background. You can download these textures here (link). Paste the texture into the document field (File > Place…) and set the Multiply Blending Mode for it in the Transparency palette.
