Project 2 Low Poly Self Portrait Due March 8

Take a picture of yourself with a digital camera. Use the picture as a template. The low poly technique will be demonstrated in class. Create the self-portrait by drawing a series of triangles. 

You may use this technique for your self portrait.

Or 

Use a more traditional technique: Start with the general shape of the head. Add shapes for the hair and features on separate layers. Create more layers and sub-layers for the details. Submit a print, and the digital file.

Do not use Image Trace for this project.
