About the video: Geometrizing the face
Overview
“I will show you a small tip that, with practice, will give you that geometrization or style you are looking for. I will geometrize the face of an alligator, exaggerating shapes and modifying the different resulting geometries, thus creating our own reticles and structures. The product of this will be if you want it, the head of your character, or it will simply serve as a basis for you to start having your own style; For your exercise you must choose one of the elements that fits your design.

In this video lesson Edgar Rozo addresses the topic: Geometrizing the face, which is part of the Domestika online course: Geometric Illustration with Volume. Learn to design digital characters with larger-than-life personalities using "wild" geometry.
