Custom Avatar in 45 Minutes
Ryan Putnam's process is simple: break a face into fundamental shapes and line weights, then refine those forms in Illustrator to create likeness with sophistication. The technique works because it respects how Illustrator works—stacking clean shapes rather than hand-drawing every curve.
Perfect whether you're designing a brand avatar or just want a unique personal image for your social media presence.
