Create a Classic Pop Art Style
BOLD PORTRAITS
ORIGINAL
Pop Art Effects in Photoshop
Born out of the 1950s and 1960s, pop art captivated the world by blending of individual creative expression with the pop culture trends of the day. Television, advertisements, mass-market products, and comic books all became sources of inspiration for artists to create images both striking and meaningful. Now you can recreate that classic pop art style using the magic of Photoshop!
Pop Art Style
Classic pop art is often characterized by bold colors, traditional print patterns, and a comic book-style. We show you how to take any photo and recreate it using vibrant colors, dark lines, and realistic print and paper textures.
Photoshop Actions, Brushes & Textures
This course comes with everything you need to start making stunning pop art right away! From Photoshop Actions to make the workflow quick and easy, to custom textures that create the look of traditional print and paper art styles. And if you’re looking for more great creative assets, we have a growing library of Photoshop Actions, Photoshop Brushes, and Lightroom Presets!

Genius.
I invested in a monthly subscription just for this tutorial. I’ve tried so many pop art tutorials and nothing has worked the way I wanted it to…until now. I’ve compared my own images like for like using this tutorial and others, nothing comes even close to the phlearn tutorial. It’s exactly the look I was searching for. I now have a new problem. Having looked through the phlearn catalogue with first hand experience of the excellent quality, I have to carve out some time to get through them all.
Fun course! Thanks again!
Great course, the resources make it super easy to get great results. I’m really happy with what I’ve been able to do.
This was brilliant, managed to create a piece after the first tutorial. Now to perfect the technique.
A fun and rewarding tutorial. I highly recommend this and all Phlearn learning videos!
Very interesting. I believe your stencil action only works on 8-bit images, perhaps because of the PS filter you choose (Or I made some error using it on my own image. Stopped at first, but worked after I converted fm 16 to 8 bit.).
Arron, “HOW COOL! IS THAT?” It’s SUPER COOL! I’ve been watching Arron for about 10 years , who taught me how to use PS. I’ve love Andy Warhol and have created art using Warhol-Like techniques. This video is the BEST of the BEST and is now my New PHLearn FAVORITE!! LOVE! LOVE! this tutorial. Aaron ….the Actions are Unbelievable. It must have taken you months to build those. THANK YOU!!! If you know how to use PS this tutorial is a little tedious with basic information but it’s good reminders and it will be helpful for newbies learning PS.
So much fun, such a great way to get creative and try something new and exciting! I can see myself doing many of these 🙂 Thanks as always!
Thank you Aaron, this so coool. I will get my head around this and practice now. 🙂
Fun and easy understanding.
