Ben-day dots are a process where you take two or more different colored tiny dots to make a new color.
Roy Lichtenstein was a pop artist just like Andy Warhol but he had a very different style. Warhol used more rough, jagged edges with his contrast so that the photos he used looked much more like prints than actual photos. Also, his subjects looked more realistic even though he used bright, unnatural colors. Lichtenstein uses bright colors and bright contrast, but his subjects look more cartoony, almost like they belong in a comic book, and his edges are sharp and precise.
Here is my version of Lichtenstein-inspired, ben-day dots technique with Photoshop (which, by the way, is REALLY HARD to do):
