I created this artwork for a TV show on Metro TV, where the main speaker was Richard Branson.

Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson (born 18 July 1950) is a British industrialist, best known for his Virgin Group of over 360 companies.

At age 16, Branson had his first successful business venture, publishing a magazine called Student. In 1970, he set up an audio record mail-order business. In 1972, he opened a chain of record stores, Virgin Records, later known as Virgin Megastores. Branson's Virgin brand grew rapidly during the 1980s—as he set up Virgin Atlantic Airways and expanded the Virgin Records music label.

Stevens converted to Islam at the height of his fame, in December 1977, and adopted his Muslim name, Yusuf Islam, the following year. In 1979, he auctioned all his guitars away for charity and left his music career to devote himself to educational and philanthropic causes in the Muslim community. He has been given several awards for his work in promoting peace in the world, including 2003's World Award, the 2004 Man for Peace Award, and the 2007 Mediterranean Prize for Peace. In 2006, he returned to pop music with his first album of new pop songs in 28 years, entitled An Other Cup. He now goes professionally by the single name Yusuf. His newest album, Roadsinger, was released on 5 May 2009. 

Early life (1948–1965)

Steven Georgiou was the third child of a Greek-Cypriot father, Stavros Georgiou (b. 1900), and a Swedish mother, Ingrid Wickman (b. 1915). He has an older sister, Anita, and brother, David. The family lived above Moulin Rouge, the restaurant that his parents operated on the north end of Shaftesbury Avenue, a short walk from Piccadilly Circus in the Soho theatre district of London. All family members worked in the restaurant. His parents divorced when he was about 8 years old, but they continued to maintain the family restaurant and live above it.

Although his father was Greek Orthodox and his mother a Swedish Lutheran, Georgiou was sent to a Catholic school, St. Joseph Roman Catholic Primary School in Macklin Street, which was closer to his father's business on Drury Lane. Georgiou developed an interest in piano at a fairly young age, eventually using the family baby grand piano to work out the chords, since no one else there played well enough to teach him. Inspired by the popularity of The Beatles, at age 15 he extended his interest to the guitar, convinced his father to pay £8 for his first instrument, and began playing it and writing songs. He would escape at times from his family responsibilities to the rooftop above their home, and listen to the tunes of the musicals drifting from just around the corner; from Denmark Street, which was then the centre of the British music industry. Later, Stevens has emphasized that the advent of West Side Story in particular affected him, giving him a  "different view of life", he said in 2000, on a VH1 Behind the Music programme. With interests in both art and music, he and his mother travelled to Gävle, Sweden, where he started developing his drawing skills after being influenced by his uncle Hugo Wickman, a painter.

He attended other local West End schools, where he says he was constantly in trouble, and did poorly in everything but art. He was called "the artist boy" and mentions that "I was beat up, but I was noticed". He went on to take a one-year course of study at Hammersmith School of Art, as he considered a career as a cartoonist. Though he enjoyed art (his later record albums would feature his original artwork on his album covers), he wanted to establish a musical career and began to perform originally under the stage name "Steve Adams" in 1965 while at Hammersmith. At that point, his goal was to become a songwriter.  Among the musicians who influenced him were Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, blues artists Leadbelly and Muddy Waters, John Lennon, Biff Rose (who played on his first album), Leo Kottke, and Paul Simon. He also wanted to emulate composers who wrote musicals, like Ira Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein. In 1965 he signed a publishing deal with Ardmore & Beechwood and cut several demos, including "The First Cut Is the Deepest".

Software yang dibutuhkan :
COREL DRAW  atau ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR atau INKSCAPE
atau software berbasis Kurva/Vector
Tingkat Kesulitan:
Menengah
 


Untuk lebih praktisnya tutorial dalam bentuk Jpeg yg jauh lebih  mudah dipahami bisa di download langsung disini :






LANGKAH #1


Buat garis-garis dasar mengikuti batas-batas perbedaan pada wajah [gelap-terang, perbedaan warna, perbedaan intensitas, dll]
buat hanya berupa garis lurus, jangan ada kurva bengkok atau derajat yg nanggung.
kerjakan bagian yg susah dulu misalnya mata dan bibir



LANGKAH #2


Untuk sementara isi [fill] bagian-bagian tersebut dengan warna sesuai photo, pilih warna yg paling dominan dalam area tersebut. gunakan color picker dan paint bucket untuk operasi ini.
agar tidak membingungkan setelah satu bagian selesai dengan membentuk kurva bisa langsung di “fill” saja menggunakan Paint Bucket atau Smart Fill Tool.



LANGKAH #3


setelah selesai mengisi semuanya garis-garis kurva bisa dibuang.
dalam tahap ini apabila karakter sudah mirip dengan foto aslinya berarti WPAP sementara ini sudah berhasil

coba perhatikan antara foto asli dengan pemilihan pembidangan kotak yg sudah dibuat. sebab di bagian inilah yg sangat menentukan kemiripan WPAP dengan karakter aslinya.


LANGKAH #4


tahap terakhir adalah pewarnaan. gunakanlah warna-warna yg memberontak atau berbeda dengan warna aslinya, sebab kecenderungan popart adalah keluar dari jalur kewajaran. lebih bertabrakan warna-warna yg anda buat, lebih kuat kesan pop dan WPAP-nya.

dalam tahap ini warnailah dulu bagian-bagian shadow [gelap], berikutnya hilite dan yg terakhir midtone.
sebenarnya tidak ada urutan khusus, anda juga bisa memulainya dari warna bagian manapun sejauh pewarnaannya masih dalam kapasitas lokasi dimana area warna itu berada. misalnya midtone harus tetap berada di midtone, shadow pun demikian.
apabila terjadi ketidakmiripan dalam step ini berarti bisa jadi anda telah salah dalam mewarnainya. gak usah bingung. coba warnai kembali dengan masih melihat foto aslinya atau WPAP yg setengah jadi di step #3 [yg masih berwarna asli seperti foto].




Bagian terakhir yg enggak kalah penting yaitu upload dan di share dengan WPAPers untuk di kritik, masukan dan comments agar WPAP yg telah anda buat bisa dikembangkan lagi dan diketahui setiap kekurangan dan kelebihannya. sekaligus juga biar WPAP anda bisa dikenal dan dinikmati semua orang... ia udah..yang penting coba dulu saja ya, Bravo!

PS: Maap bikinnya acak-acakan :D kalo ada yg kurang jelas kontak toniagustian@yahoo.com - recomended lewat Facebook saja biar cepet, cari yg e-mailnya itu tadi. Insya’Allah memang toni yg itu :)

KALAU ANDA SUKA, ADA KRITIK ATAU PERTANYAAN SILAHKAN TINGGALKAN COMMENT YA!,
I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER.... :)


 

SEMOGA SAMPLE INI BISA BERMANFAAT WALAUPUN SEBENARNYA GAMBAR YG DITUNJUKKAN KURANG BEGITU BENAR DAN MEYAKINKAN
