"Nice View!...": (http://<font%20size=) Roy Lichtenstein
Inspired by jmBoekestein

OK you know guys I like to experiment with the format now and then to avoid things getting too stale around here.


So, I want to try something different for today.
Let’s try to illustrate an image emulating the style of a famous painter (But it is OK if you want to ignore this rule.)


I have selected Roy Lichtenstein (http://rds.yahoo.com/S=2766679/K=Roy+Lichenstein/v=2/SID=w/TID=F466_106/l=WSPT/KC=Roy+Lichtenstein/SIG=15981s65j/EXP=1112276865/*-http%3A//search.yahoo.com/search?p=Roy+Lichtenstein&sp=1&toggle=1&ei=UTF-8&fr=FP-tab-web-t&SpellState=n-2169047277_q-%2FGLy4MTXupGA2KrhPvrk9QABAA%40%40)who happens to be one of my favorite pop art artists.
I find his work quirky and endearing and quite unique. And I admire that he created
a color and composition style, inpired by comercial art, and made it into his own,

He was one of the principal artists of the pop art movement in the 60's, and his work has been imitated and copied to this day.

If you are not interested in this participating in this little experiment, just do the usual.


Welcome to the cgtalk sketch group.

We will try to post one of these topics once a day for your enjoyment.

These are the rules:
* Post only your FINAL piece on this thread, based on the topic on the thread.
* 640 x 480 / 480 x 640 OR 800 x 600 /600 x 800
* They can be done on any medium.
* If you wish, you can add a brief text description about your piece.
* Only original compositions. No "tributes" or plagiarizing.
* The topics will be posted every day between 10:00 - 12:00 am US EST.
* The artist also has to post total length of time it took (Thanks Clanger for the idea) and program used.
* Only final pieces can be posted on the thread. They must have been done AFTER the topic has been announced.
* Any piece caught breaking the rules will be taken off the thread.
* The topics will be picked at random from the list on this thread
(The author will be given credit). So guys keep them coming.
*You can add multiple entries, but please dont post WIP (Unless you intend to update them). NEW RULE!

Good luck

-Roberto

Irony abounds in this thread - I didn't realize Ron's whole perogative was to emphasize the commercialist bent that was taking over the art world. I thought what better way to show that than to have a young lady shopping for a television?

Pencil & Paper --> Photoshop w/ WACOM, 1.5 hrs.

How the heck did you guys get the dots on your images? All I could manage was the color halftone tool, and that broke everything up into it's primaries (I just wanted to have dots of the original color).

Great job (http://69.42.87.214/cgi-bin/ezlclk.fcgi?id=9152) everyone...

However, mine seems to be very un-roy now that I read Flatuloso's note. (Maybe I should have looked into him some more.)

UPDATED: Finished as requested by mybutterflyiris.

Extra 20mins photoshop, MS Paint

Squibbit: I'm not to sure but Brad sure does pop up alot. I have a feeling that I've seen him in a few RL paintings and obviously in Master mybutterflyiris' works too.

Will look further.....

Ugh, got this somewhat finished at last. 3 hrs last night, plus half an hour today.

I originally was trying to do it all with the pen tool, but just couldn't draw the shapes well enough that way. I wanted a better background, but have had enough of it, tbh.

Interesting exercise - it's not something I'd normally do.

Just breaking into the daily sketch forum. The halftone pattern was ok - but I couldn't bear the true yellow/red/blue halftone. This was done in roughly 60 minutes in painter classic with the halftone and letterbox added in photoshop.

I have a cheesy entry I'll post later when I regain access to my FTP site. But I have to know how everyone is getting such great dots? I played around with halftones, and don't like how it came out. Suggestions?

Really great work, everyone!

I downloaded my dots off of google, took the dots into photoshop. Defined it as a pattern and then filled the area in that i wanted dotty, then rubbed what I didnt need out. I used a few layers, hope that helps :)

04-01-2005, 03:31 AM
Yes, element5 - that helps MUCHO! I've never created a pattern like that before, but no time to learn like the present, huh? Thanks for the tip!


Here is my cheesy, dot-free sketch. Trust me, the dots would have made it ROCK - I'm sure of it! HA HA! PS about 1 hr.

This turned out to be a really good thread with some good work.

Robertt - I especially love your ladies #1 and #3. But for some reason, #2 looks like a female impersonator to me! :)

haha, thanks robin :) i agree - the second one was iffy.
The first and third ones I did are my favorites.
Yours made me laugh!

Congratulations on another great thread folks http://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/clap.gif
