Facial Proportions

-Top 1/3 is the distance between the normal hairline and the eyebrows -Middle 1/3 is the distance from the eyebrow to the base of the nose -Lower 1/3 the area between the base of the nose and the base of the chin -Length of the Ear = the distance of 1/3 of the length of the face -Length of the ear = length of the nose; 3 noses = length of the face -The length of the ear is also equal to the length from the outer corner of the eyelid to the ear passage -Widest part of the face is five eyes wide from zygomatic arch to zygomatic arch -

Basic Linear Forms

Convex; Concave; Vertical

Facial Shapes

Oval; Round; Square; Triangular; Inverted Triangle; Diamond; Oblong

Convex-Concave

Receding forehead and protruding chin

Proportions

Relationships of the side of one feature as compared with another feature or with the width and length of the face

Shadow

Surfaces which do not lie at right angles to the source of illumination; reflect little to no light

Vertical (balanced) Profile

The forehead, upper lip and chin project equally

Highlight

a surface lying at right angles to the source of illumination, which reflects the maximum amount of light; brighter part

bi-mandibular width

across the angles of the jaw

Vertical-Concave

balanced forehead and protruding chin

Vertical-Convex

balanced forehead and receding chin

Inversion

detects asymmetry

Triangular

forehead is pointed; sides widen inferiorly; jaw is the widest point; least common

Oblong

head is long and narrow throughout

Directional Lighting

light that travels in a specific direction; provided by a stronger light source

Flat Light

lighting that produces minimal contrast in the scene; very little contrast between highlights and shadows

Concave-Vertical

protruding forehead and balanced chin

Concave-Convex

protruding forehead and receding chin

Convex-Vertical

receding forehead and balanced chin

Oval Face Shape

rounded forehead, cheeks, and chin; longer than it is wide

Normal Lighting

source of lighting from above the head; reflects the greatest amount of light

Concave (least common)

the forehead protrudes beyond the eyebrow while the chin protrudes beyond the plane of the upper lip

Convex Profile (most common)

the forehead recedes posteriorly from the eyebrows and the chin recedes from the plane of the upper lip

Square

vertical and horizontal measurements are equal, hairline is straight, jaw is angled; strong

Round (infantine)

vertical distance and the width between the cheekbones are equal and the cheeks and chin are rounded

Inverted Triangel

wide angular forehead, angular jaw, pointed chin. Wide at forehead, narrow at jaw.

bi-parietal width

widest part of the carnium

bi-zygomatic width

widest part of the face
