I am sketching a small cast of characters for a game with compact dialogue portraits. At that size, the outer face shape can be easier to notice than a subtle expression. Different outlines would help, but I do not want a shape category to determine a character’s temperament. I found a <a href=https://faceshapequiz.top>face shape quiz</a> while collecting vocabulary for my sketch notes. The terms could help organize my rough sketches, provided they do not dictate every decision about proportion. A useful sketch sheet might change forehead and jaw proportions without changing the pose or expression. I would then reduce the sketches to their intended size and see which outline differences remain readable. I would keep the terminology behind the scenes and let the finished portraits communicate their own visual differences. Does anyone use a practical sketch exercise to separate face shape variation from familiar personality stereotypes?
