# Low Poly Art Style

> Visible polygon facets and crisp shadows form simplified volumes with bright color and angular contours.

## About this style

A limited set of polygon faces carries the changes of light, leaving deliberate angles in the silhouette. Relatively uniform face colors reveal volume through the orientation of adjacent planes.

Low-poly imagery makes polygon boundaries part of its visual language.

A mountain built from a few large triangles can retain clear peaks and valleys through changes between otherwise simple faces.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: A small number of polygonal planes simplify features and body into angular forms.

- **Landscape**: Facets replace terrain, buildings and plants, with surface direction establishing depth.

- **Object**: Curves split into planes whose changing colors replace smooth reflections.

**Subjects**: Choose mountains, buildings, vehicles or clear poses with strong silhouettes that tolerate fewer facets.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Build the subject from a limited number of clearly visible polygonal faces, simplifying the outline into angular segments. Keep each face relatively uniform in color, establishing volume through the orientation and brightness of adjacent planes. Use a bright, harmonious palette and crisp shadows to emphasize structure. Retain moderate spatial depth and recognizability. Avoid smoothly subdivided curves, dense photographic textures, and cubic grid constructions.
