A practical worksheet for face outline observations
While preparing a glossary for new illustrators, I ran into a disagreement about how to explain the basic face outline categories. One draft lists category names without explaining the observations behind them, while another gives so much detail that the distinctions disappear. A reference about determining face shape might help us decide which observations belong in each entry. My preference is a consistent sequence for each entry, beginning with overall proportions and then describing the lower face contour. That would let readers compare descriptions directly, rather than assume that a single distinctive feature settles the classification for every face. There should probably be a note about intermediate outlines so readers understand why some examples do not match one description exactly. For the diagrams, I would use simple line drawings at the same scale and leave hairstyle details out of the comparison. The wording should stay descriptive and avoid implying that one category is preferable or that real features need to be corrected. Which details are essential in a beginner glossary, and which would you move into a separate explanation with more examples?
