When creating triangles for my LoPoly portrait, it is important to make sure I have a high res photo, and that I choose a photo in which I am looking straight ahead towards the camera. Having a good quality image will help make the triangles look neat. It’s important to make sure there aren’t any gaps between the triangles, and each one is connected perfectly. Using the correct colors is also important when it comes to LoPoly portraits. The finished portrait should have a good sense of light and shadow. It’s crucial to keep in mind that the sizes of the triangles should be different depending on the shadow or light in the certain part of the face. Smaller triangles will be suitable for more detailed parts of the face, whereas bigger triangles would be for areas that are the opposite. Each of the colors used should be similar to that of the original photo.
