Pop Art

I slept at 4.40 am last night after had my sahur. Got up at 11.25 this morning. Went to the kitchen and see if there’s anything to eat. Oopss, I forgot it’s Ramadhan. Suddenly, truttt truttt… my mobile rang. It was my brother. Said that there’s a Thames Festival in London near the Westminster Bridge & Tower Bridge. I was like, ooo okay, another biggest end-of-summer party not to be missed. But due to my mind was completely controlled by the city of laziness, I tended to just ignore it and went back to sleep!

I woke up again at 2.13 pm in the afternoon. No, no more sleep. I had enough. Wanted to go to the festival but thought it was quite late already until I checked on the website, it says from noon to 10 pm. Duh, if only I knew. So I ended up with doing nothing but stayed at home, read magazine and… fell asleep for the 3rd time, oopss.

After had my buka puasa tonight, I felt like trying out some tutorials on the photography magazine. Those images have been converted to Pop Art or also known as Digital Portrait which I had successfully done 3 so far. The only successful pop art I did was the one with blue hair and red shirt colour on top (that’s me) I guess. The tutorial looks easy but it’s not that easy actually. You can’t just follow the steps 100% according to the tutorial. You must use your logical common sense in order to make an image looks great. Some of photos may vary in regard to which angle the lights come from, the exposure and so on. So, for beginner like me, I think it’s quite close to a successful experiment considering this is my first time doing art images! No? Not even close? Okay, I must admit then.

But if anyone of you out there would love to share with me any digital portrait you created yourself, you can just drop me an email to farisfakri@gmail.com together with the attachment. I will then post it in here so that we can share some useful tips from expertise perhaps.

Love,

Faris
