Graphical synthesis

Hi guys! I hope you are very well, at this moment I wanted to share with you a series of drawings, specifically a graphic synthesis in which I have taken as model the famous actress Lucy Hale.

What is a graphic synthesis? The synthesis in graphic design is achieved when we simplify an original shape with different types of lines, flat shapes, geometric shapes, etc. to a minimum expression, eliminating the details as much as possible but keeping its essence recognizable. The objective of the graphic synthesis, as it is known by its original name, occurs when we manage to communicate a concept clearly and precisely. Each method used to simplify produces a different visual effect although the general contour of it remains. I will explain them in each image the applied synthesis.

Why did I choose her? Well mainly because she is one of the actresses who participate in one of my favorite television shows Pretty Little Liars, maybe you have heard of it. That series represented all my adolescence, I began to see it in my first year of secondary school, I saw it week after week with a friend and it was very exciting to be able to share our theories together. This series had many seasons and it was not until last year that it finally ended in its 7th season, so you can imagine the years that I was hooked.

So here I leave my Graphic Synthesis, I hope you like it.

Reference image

It is the figure that is taken as a guide for the synthesis process by means of lines and planes.

Work process

Line drawing synthesis

This process consists of capturing the greatest details of lines that exist in the figure

Contour synthesis

It comes to be the route of the line that will enclose the figure and turn it into a single plane that is the shape of the figure, also called contour.

Synthesis in silhouettes

Very similar to the outline with the difference that the silhouette synthesis visually expresses the interior and exterior lines, thus causing empty spaces within the form.

Anchored

The silhouette is given a negative effect

Shading

In this synthesis lights and shadows are specially adapted to give it a volume effect, creating the sensation of a stylized image.

Negative

The continuous surface figure can have details using negative lines (white lines on a black background), both internal and external details must be saved

Fragmented

The figure undergoes a decomposition in segments of cut planes, as if they were pieces of the same shape, it can be used both organic and rectilinear

Geometric

The figure is represented with geometric and flat shapes that give a feeling of rigidity and hardness with a smaller number of elements in its composition.
