^ Added some texture just because. ^

No texture. I remmeber an old art teacher having a painting like this in his room its cool. ^_^

In this situation, you're trying to recreate a classic look using probably the cheapest method to attain it. Filter palette is not your friend.

What exactly would be the cheapest method? I can assure you, this wasn't some 15 minute job. I put time and effort into this. I only used two filters, one for the faces and the other for the texture. If you could go into detail about what your statement means i'd appreciate it, because right now i'm kind of offended you put down my work without actually telling me in some level of detail where I went wrong...

actually, he told you where you went wrong, and he said it quite clearly.

I see Chop-Chop-Head

I suppose it wasn't obvious enough that I don't know what he's talking about and asked him to explain it. Or, you could have if you understand it. I use photoshop every so often but not THAT often. So, I do not know what a filter palette is. Also, i'd rather not turn this thread into an argument.

lol wha?

xD

I don't know if that's suppose to be part of the style but the head looks like a choppy cutout.

Originally the head popped up out of the render I made from the picture. So I lopped off the top of her head so it would fit inside the rectangle. I suppose I didn't do to good of a job with that then, eh?

Not a fan of the aliasing on the red/black square. It's an good piece, works visually, and I even like the first one without the texture because it makes it seem more simple and less noisy.

This will look a lot better.

1. Open one single image
2. Retrace dark parts with black, lighter with grey, and lightest with white.
3. Make sure all your traces are on separate layers.
4. Refill with colors of your choice. Duplicate image 4 times, each with a different refill.

It will look a lot better if you do it right. I'd recommend Illustrator though, for the style of work you are doing.

Thank you for the feedback HP. I will look into your suggestions. Thought for #2, I used a filter to do the black, grey, and white parts of the faces. But regardless thank you. By the way, what do you mean "retrace"?

i like it good job

Like color over the parts of the image.

Also try out the Threshold, it works well too.

To be perfectly honest, it looks like you did a Cutout filter, a Hue/Saturation on the foreground and a Fill Color on the background. I hope you can prove me wrong, but that's all I see.

Also, Andy Warhol was my former neighbor's cousin. ^.^

I did use the cutout filter, no Hue/Saturation. If need be, I can upload the psd or something but I figure i'm a trustworthy guy, eh?

Also, thank you all for the positive feedback and HP for the pointers. Hopefully, i'll improve. I've been working on the photoshop stuff lately. I'm enjoying it.
