[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!
I just started a new story (always starting new ones even when I am working on some 
) and I was thinking it would actually be good if I could physically see my characters because even when I describe their features in a great detail I have a problem imagining their faces. Another problem - I’m horrible at drawing. So how did I solve this? Through FaceApp! I can’t choose whatever feature I want but I can do other things with it like changing hair color or eye color… So to get to the point I chose a picture of a celebrity based on my idea of what they should roughly look like and make them look younger with FaceApp (because this character’s a child). Now my problem is that I can’t actually describe the features (face shape, eye shape, nose shape, lip shape). So I am asking for your help. Thanks in advance!
Here’s the picture:
What a great question!
I would actually describe the same face differently, depending on the vibe you’re hoping to evoke. For example, if the character was an intelligent, independent, opinionated type, I might describe her as having a “stunning, porcelain face, with crystal clear (whatever color) eyes, and a determined mouth.” But! If she was a caring, innocent, gentle kind of girl, I might describe her as having an “open, heart-shaped face, with rosebud lips and eyes almost too beautiful to believed”. Something like that.
You could also Google “different types of” and research eyes, mouths, face shapes, etc.
And just for fun, some adjectives!
