Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol born on 6th August, 1928 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA is an American commercial illustrator and artist who does his artwork from an art movement called pop art. His artwork includes varieties of peoples, celebrities and cartoon characters with emotional expressions and cultures.  The media he used in his artwork includes hand drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, silk screening, sculpture, film, and music. Until 1984, he was introduced to a new computer art using Amiga computers. He went to the School of Fine Arts at Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1949, where he studied commercial art for his artistic talent. After his graduation in June 1949, He moved on to New York City and began a career in magazine illustration and advertising as a commercial illustrator. He began another career in Glamour magazine in September and still continued being a commercial artist in the 1950s.



This is his illustration of men fashion in pencil. Not only had I chosen this because he did not include colour in this design, but he used black shadings for the coat, trouser and hat. He also use light for the tie and left out the face, shoes, shirt and collar as white.
