Portrait Polygon Art
Portrait polygon art is a style of digital art that creates human faces or
animals using triangles and polygons. The details are simplified, but the
face still looks recognizable and expressive with different shades of colour.
CREATING POLYGON ART
Polygon Art is a type of artwork that uses shapes with straight sides, like triangles and squares, to
create pictures. It looks like a design made of many small, flat pieces that fit together, often giving
a modern or 3D effect. This style is popular in games, cartoons, and digital art because it makes
images simple yet attractive.
STEPS TO CREATE POLYGON ART:
Step 1 Open Adobe Illustrator by clicking on its icon.
Step 2 Click on File → New.
Step 3 Choose the Artboard Size based on your project needs.
Step 4 Click on Create.
Step 5 Insert a reference image by clicking File → Place, selecting the image, and adjusting its
position. Lock the image to prevent movement by right-clicking and selecting Lock.
Step 6 Select the Pen Tool (P) from the Toolbar.
Step 7 Start creating a polygon mesh by clicking on different points of the image to form
triangles. Ensure all points are connected properly.
Step 8 Continue adding more polygons with the Pen Tool, making sure to cover the entire
subject with a network of triangles.
Step 9 Apply colours by selecting each polygon and using the Color Picker or Color Guide to
assign shades and tints for a realistic look.
Step 10 Refine the artwork by adjusting polygon edges and points using the Direct Selection
Tool (A).
Step 11 Once satisfied, unlock and remove the reference image layer to reveal the completed
polygon artwork.
Step 12 Go to File → Save As, and choose AI for further editing, PNG for a transparent
background, or SVG/EPS for scalable vector use.
Your Polygon Art is now ready.
