Just had a fiddle to see what I could do with this technique

It'd look a lot better if the background was polygonized as well.

Tried this several years ago, I think it works best if you follow the form. Unless you really want it to look messy intentionally I found that breaking it down more and more helps.

How did you go about doing this? I really like the gradient action going on.

In general, is this just done by using a polygon tool of some sorts over a photo and estimating colors? Or is there a more convenient way?

>>2717408
Pretty much just lots of drawing over a b&w image to find the major shapes then pen tooling to make it clean. In some of the shapes I used them as layer masks then brushed in my own gradients on a high res render for more control.

>>2717373
Thats beautiful, was it originally from a photograph? How did oyu get that texture to the different surfaces?

>>2717413
Yes it's from a self portrait photo. The texture is just noise applied to the entire image, I thought it worked well with the gradients. There is also an extremely thin outline of a lighter color around some of the shapes on the face that I thought worked well with the gradients. I've been thinking about making more as I've been taking more portraits lately.

Thats my friend, Initials KL
Either you are him.

give us a rough tutorial anon ?

>>2719303
polygonal filter + layer mask?

>>2719308
in what


detailsss

Alright, OP here

Basically you grab your polygonal lasso tool in Photoshop, and literally create each triangle. Once you create a single triangle you need to hit the Fillter>Blur>Average button and it'll fill whatever area you have selected with the triangle with a solid colour.
Deselect, then create a new triangle beside it, Average Blur, deselect etc...

>>2719390

lel. why don't you just use the cutout filter?

>>2716930
It would work better if you didn't leave bits of unprocessed hair sticking out.
