hello,

I am fairly new to photoshop, and have been browsing various tutorials online. I found one that shows you how to turn a photo into a pop art image. It's truly fantastic.

I love pop art, but it requires the use of the pen tool, which I'm not very good at! Infact, I'm too ashamed to post my failed attempt here, as you would all think I draw like a 3 year old!

I have been trying for HOURS to apply the effect to a particular picture, but it looks BAD.

Could any brilliant genius show me how it is done and do it for me?

Thanks so much.

Good tut on the pen tool

or you can learn from the link from blue
you'll have to try using the pen tool on easy subject's (that's how i learned it)
good luck

thanks for your feedback. I'm trying to achieve the same effect as your display pic Tom.
