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 <a href=https://squarefaceshape.top>determining face shape</a> might help us decide which observations belong in each entry. Perhaps each entry could start with the overall proportions, followed by a separate sentence about the jaw and forehead outline. 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. A set of similarly scaled outline drawings seems useful, especially if hair does not hide the edges that each definition describes. I do not want the glossary to rank shapes or suggest that an illustrator should change the features of a real subject. Which details are essential in a beginner glossary, and which would you move into a separate explanation with more examples?
