stylizing

Giving artistic treatment

Stylizing is rendering something in a distinctive, non-realistic manner that emphasizes particular features or conforms to an artistic convention.

A stylized portrait might exaggerate certain facial features while simplifying others.

The animator spent hours stylizing the characters to match the film's aesthetic.

The result trades naturalism for visual coherence or artistic effect.
