Your question is much too general for me to answer.

For each of the images that you posted, I can immediately list 5 to 10 different effects that have been used. Why don't you tell us which effects are giving you the biggest problem, and what your level of knowledge of PS is.

Posting a single starting image + some of your attempts would also be very, very helpful.

Take a look at the image in this old post:

Is what you are trying to achieve a much less extreme version of this, different colors, etc.?

If so, read the rest of that thread and see if it answers any of your questions.

Also, Google {low poly art}, and take at THIS POST and THIS OTHER POST for related discussions, different approaches, etc..

Hello and welcome to PSG.

Try this technique..............

Open the original.

Make any changes to the original you desire such as changing the background.
When your image is complete, create a stamp visible layer.

Let's pretend this is my competed image in a stamp visible layer.



Duplicate the new layer. Work on the top or uppermost duplicate.
Go to filters > Cutout.........adjust the sliders to your liking. Hit OK when done.


Now set the layers blending mode to something you like.

This is 'Lighter Color'


This is 'Hard Light'.....


It's a matter of seeing which blending mode you like.
