This weekend I learned how to create a pop art portrait using Adobe Fireworks. I am surprised because I am not artistic at all but I think it came out pretty well. The tutorial caused me to use tools that I don’t normally use when designing. I never realized how powerful the pen tool is especially for tracing and outlining objects. I used to use the eraser tool to crop objects out of a picture but from now on I will stick to the pen… big time saver! Thank you www.family-portrait-artists.com for expanding my knowledge.
