Unfortunately, we have here no vivid and clear boundary between the dark and bright area. We will now trace the closest area next to the previous objects. As easy as this is, it's about to get more difficult. At this stage, the "white" of the eye has a clear edge, so you can go ahead and create this shape to complete the eye. To make it visible, while the iris and eyelid still active, you will need to rearrange your shapes by going to Object > Arrange > Send to Back. Of course, the highlight you've drawn in the first step will now be hidden by the new layer. I will trace this section, this time I will use the Pen Tool (P). In the original photograph, the iris, purple and eyelid edges have a dark color and it's clear to where you can define the edges of this shape.
All shapes created will be in this style. Using the Rectangle Tool (M), I trace the highlight in the iris, that still seems vague in the photo. In this case, the eyes and the surrounding areas. And the smallest part usually becomes my first choice. I usually start the tracing process by selecting an area with a definite boundary between the dark and bright areas. This is where you'll be drawing your faceted shapes. Lock the layer the photo is contained in and then Create New Layer above the photo. Go to File > Place and locate your reference image and place it on your artboard. Set the size and other settings as shown below. Open Adobe Illustrator and create a New document ( File > New). For this tutorial I'm going to be creating a portrait of my beloved Grand Daughter, Ola. Also make sure that the image is sharp and in focus. So the photo selection is important because a good photo in quality, image sharpness, lighting and resolution, will help you to create a good final rendering of a WPAP piece.Īim for a photo that has even lighting and does not hit extremes, either in light or shadow. The faceting process is based on photo tracing. Therefore it is important to experiment with color. No matter what color you choose, as long as you pick it from the right group, the result should work well in this format. The differences in these groups make it possible for us to make a dimensional composition. Think more of colors in highlights, mid-tones and shadow. Think of them in terms of dark and light colors, ignoring the actual hue. You have groups of hot colors, warm colors, cold colors. Although the colors look as if they collide with each other, effort should be made to make it look three-dimensional.Ĭreative experts will classify colors in groups. In coloring, to show something stronger, I only use flat colors, instead of a gradual colors.
This is how best to describe the faceting process. This is because facets that are formed by straight lines will appear stronger than a facet formed by curved lines.īefore we start the process, we should begin to see and assume the face of a human being as a shape that consists of many flat surfaces on a sphere, just like the ball in the below image. Every facet is formed by straight lines, instead of curved lines. Every facet (plane) is formed based on the different degrees of dark and bright areas seen on the original photo. In the faceting process, by tracing the image, I divide the human face into facets. I do these two processes simultaneously when creating a new portrait. With that in mind, the WPAP creative process is based on two main processes the faceting process and the coloring process. Different in a sense of being more unique, more dynamic, more striking and of course, more visually pleasing to see, I hope. WPAP's main goal is to represent the faces that are already familiar to us, with a new and different style, but it still must be easily recognizable. Now let's take a look at the WPAP process itself.
CARA MEMBUAT WPAP ONLINE HOW TO
The following is a tutorial on how to create a WPAP (Wedha's Pop Art Portrait) portrait in Adobe Illustrator, by the WPAP master himself!īy the way, although there's no shortcut to creating Wedha's exact WPAP style, you can apply some wonderful effects to portraits in a single click with Geometric Pop Art, a Photoshop action available on Envato Market for just $4.
Since then, it has gained major popularity in Indonesia, with several communities dedicated to the creation and showcasing of portraits in a WPAP style, with members in their thousands! With the resurgence of the geometric trend, it's fair to say that WPAP may venture out of Indonesia and into more aspects of design. Vector being the natural choice for such a colorful, geometric style. Wedha, originally from Indonesia, created his art work in traditional mediums early in the 1990s, which later in early 2000, crossed over into the digital world.
Tuts+ has the honor to present to you a vector tutorial from a true legend, Wedha Abdul Rasyid.
