I created many series featuring faces of different people at various ages with distinct looks. Additionally, there are graphical images of animals, such as a dog and a cat. All these images are graphical vector illustrations that have been simplified step by step in Illustrator. There are also more images of faces that I have manually created. Later, I used digital tools to simplify them gradually.
During the summer break, I plan to simplify these images further, until only two dots remain where the eyes used to be. Then, I want to conduct the same experiment again to validate the findings from my previous post. This is my collection of different faces in various stages of abstraction.
Series 01: Middle Aged Man
Series 02: Young Girl
Series 03: Young Boy
Series 04: Cat
Series 05: Dog
Series 06: Dot Art
Series 06: Line Art
Series 07: Print
Series 08: Profile Drawing
It was important to me to create a series that is highly diverse, encompassing a variety of styles and personalities. At the same time, I wanted to maintain a structured approach to the abstraction process, ensuring continuity in the simplification stages. This method will help me systematically explore how different degrees of abstraction affect the perception of faces and personalities, providing valuable insights for my ongoing research.
