How to Create a Low Polygon Portrait in Photoshop - YouTube

Low Poly Portrait in Photoshop (Tutorial) - YouTube

Blimey Ged. I tried watching the Low Poly video, but it was too painful. I was published late 2017 but is already out of date with the repeat filter shortcut being stolen for the new Search function. Not that I am complaining, because I love that search tool, but we have to add Alt to Ctrl F now.

In actual fact, my workspace turned to custard when I tried it just now, because I use the Michael Ninness window arrangement shortcuts, and with seven open documents suddenly floated, it was like a digital bomb blast. I have F7 set to switch to and reset Essentials, so hitting that first put me straight.

But I was still hoping for something clever to redeem Photoshop after the Illustrator does it better comments. I think the old app is up against the ropes, and about to go down for a full count on this one.

I am fairly sure I have seen a tutorial on this, when each facet was created manually.

So you need to draw each segment with the pen or lasso tool, and use something like Blur > Average

The trick would be to select an area of similar tonal (brightness) value so that the facets are delineated.

For shapes like the eye, perhaps use the Polygon tool (set to five sides below)

To make a path into a selection, Ctrl click the path.

A crude 3D model with image/texture mapping, lighting etc?

This seems to have been done in Illustrator building on a Trace foundation, then moved to Photoshop to handle the shading and face; features.

I agree with Norman.sanders, some tracing feature capable tool like Illustrator has been used. Obviously It can be created manually, thanks Trevor.Dennis!

This looks like the image is broken into sections using either layer mask or separate layers. My example I used the polygon lasso tool to make selections of the main image. Then used ctrl/cmd-j to put them on their own layer. Then I locked the transparency of the layer, so it would not bleed when I applied gaussian blur.
