Sorry, couldn't resist
Nice painting, I think it captures the Badger very well. What medium have you used?
Just done in Illustrator, the background was forest/country pic that I just blurred and used a section of. It was just fun to do and doesn't take too long.

So you start with a photo then? The 'Cubist' style is part of the Illustrator options? I suppose Photoshop could do the same?Skynet":zhgdxv8b said:Old Ned":zhgdxv8b said:highlandsflyer":zhgdxv8b said:

Re:
Yes, you usually use a reference photo or photos.
You can do it in photoshop but I think suits Illustrator. You basically draw a load of triangles for the areas of light and shade then fill them.
In Illustrator I just use the pen tool to draw the triangles (with a stroke, no fill) then use live paint to fill the areas. You'd do it in a similar way in photoshop. There are some youtube tutorials showing how to do it in photoshop but not tried them.
There are some apps out there that supposedly convert a photo to a low poly picture but the couple I played with were pretty hopeless.
