Facial expressions are universal. Just like love, math, and many other things. I believe that facial expressions are universal because even though we all may speak a different language we can communicate with our faces. We are born with facial expressions. When we are born we cry, and crying is a facial expression. I just think that your face expression is the most important kind of expression of all time! Imagine life if you could only express what you are feeling only with your body and voice. Things would probably get kind of creepy to be honest. Talking with your face can have infinite meaning to everyone around you.
To create your own Poly portrait you first have to get organized. Take those extra steps to make sure everything has a place to be. Then you have to either take a self portrait, of your self of course! Or you can take a portrait of anyone you want to. When you have the portraits choose your favorite one But make sure the portrait that you choose is one that your subject is looking away from the camera. Then when that is all sorted out, you will be opening the portrait with PhotoShop. Make sure to set your settings so that your height is 11inches, your width 8.5 inches, and your resolution 300 pixels. Then when that is done you need to get organized! Make a background layer and lock it. Command J your portrait layer and lock your original portrait. When you have gotten organized you are now going to click on the polygonal lasso tool and start creating you triangles. But make sure that after you create each triangle you do click on the "I" on your keyboard which will bring up the eyedropper tool. When the eyedropper tool comes up it will let you select the different color shades on wherever you drew a triangle. When you have the right and appropriate color you can press alt delete and the color that you have selected will show up! You need to do that on every part of your body.When you are done with that you can cut around your subject with the polygonal lasso tool and make your background customized. Make it look crazy! But make sure that it kinda goes with your "theme". When you are done you can command save and re-format it into a JPG. Of course you can do a little customizing to it. But after that you are done!
All of the poly portraits that I have created are different in some type of way. Some were easier than others, and some are nicer than others. That is because as I made more poly portraits the steps became more difficult and the expectations got much higher. I think that my poly portrait #2 was my best work out of all of them because I think that I executed the expectations perfectly. Even though my poly portrait #2 took a little longer to create it still ended up being really nice! Poly portrait #1 is the one poly portrait that I created that I am not that proud of to be completely honest. It is because of the extra steps that I personally don't think is necessary. Like the outlining before actually using the polygonal lasso tool was really time consuming. The outlining was really frustrating and confusing when it came to using the polygonal lasso tool and tracing the triangles that we made. The reason is because it was really hard to tell if you were overlapping your triangles, so when I turned off the outline there was a lot of gaps where my skin was visible.
