                               ∑  Divide  the  image  into  triangles  and  polygons  by  clicking  at  key  points  to  form
                                 straight lines.

                               ∑  Ensure that all polygons are connected without any gaps.

                  Step  5   Apply Colors to Polygons
                               ∑  Select individual polygons using the Selection Tool (V).

                               ∑  Use the Eyedropper Tool (I) to pick colors from the reference image or choose colors
                                 manually for a creative look.

                               ∑  Adjust proportions, align polygons, and smooth edges for a clean and balanced
                                 look.

                               ∑  Use Zoom (Ctrl+ +) to refine details and ensure precision.

                  Quick Tips

                     Use Ctrl+G to group polygons for easier management.
                     Enable Snap to Grid for precise polygon alignment.

                     Experiment with color palettes to make the design vibrant and eye-catching.
