Pop Art Founder

Andy Warhol (6 Agustus 1928 – 22 Februari 1987), adalah seorang seniman, sutradara avant-garde, penulis dan figur sosial Amerika. Warhol juga bekerja sebagai penerbit, produser rekaman dan aktor. Dengan latar belakang dan pengalamannya dalam seni komersil, Warhol menjadi salah satu pencetus gerakan Pop Art di Amerika Serikat pada tahun 1950an. Karya-karya Warhol yang paling dikenal adalah lukisan-lukisan (cetakan sablon) kemasan produk konsumen dan benda sehari-hari yang sangat sederhana dan berkontras tinggi, misalnya Campbell’s Soup Cans, bunga poppy, dan gambar sebuah pisang pada cover album musik rock The Velvet Underground and Nico (1967), dan juga untuk potret-potret ikonik selebritis abad 20, seperti Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Judy Garland, dan Elizabeth Taylor. Di luar dunia seni, Warhol dikenal dengan ucapannya “Di masa depan semua orang akan menjadi terkenal selama 15 menit“. Dia berkata kepada beberapa reporter, “Kalimat terbaru saya adalah, ‘Dalam lima belas menit, semua orang akan menjadi terkenal’”.(Dikopi dari wikipedia.org)

DRAWING VECTOR IN PHOTOSHOP

Taken from, http://quiccs.deviantart.com/art/Burning-Water-Screen-01-90866478

It immediately becomes a vexel once you put brush strokes in it or anything else besides vector shapes, which in this case doesnt apply. This was done in PS which is a raster program yes, but everything you see in this image is formed by vector shapes, absolutely nothing flattened/rasterized. PS is a raster program, and even if it`s vexel shapes, if you zoom, at one point you will have pixel. What a waste of time ! If Using so many layers and Photoshop to draw vectors is just the wrong way. Reasons not to use bitmap editing tools (PS, The GIMP...) to draw vector images :
* You have to deal with thousands of layers
* Shapes have to be flattened, so can't be edited
* The whole drawing process is a nightmare, but is great way to test you patience.
* Bitmaps can't be zoomed in when a vector image don't have a size.
* Good vector-based softwares like Inkscape have everything an artist need, even great blending effects, but you first have to learn how to use them.

I think you should give Illustrator an other chance, or try an other software. You probably spent too much time using PS and now you stick with it for the wrong reasons because switching to an other tool seems too painless. switch ! Trust me, you won't regret it !
