This is a low-poly geometric portrait of myself using 1,944 triangles. I decided to make my portrait using only triangles instead of other polygons to give it a more fluid look. I broke up the image into sections starting from the bottom and working my way up. I started with my neck, then shirt and shoulders, then worked my way up my face before finishing with the hair and headphones.

While creating the triangles I tried to choose sections of the image that had a consistent color so that it would look more realistic, but I also changed the angle and endpoints of some triangles to better represent the curves of my face in an attempt to look more 3D.

This was my first time using the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator so I made some mistakes that took me a while to fix, but I'm happy with the result. In total this project took me 20 hours to finish.
