[Request] A Guide to Making Faces

[TheBluePylon]

This is an issue that I'm sure everyone has had difficulty with one time or another before. We always see these beautiful faces that people make and post screenshots of and then we try and recreate it as much as possible but the end result is this ugly face that's disproportional and nowhere near what we wanted. I was wondering if any of the modders would be so kind as to give a sort of step by step guide on making a decent face or what strategies they use to make some of their faces.

Currently the mods I have installed in terms of cosmetics are:
CBBE Body
Eyes of Beauty
Enhanced Character Edit v1.05
Envision Face CBBE
SG Hair Pack

Are there any mods that is a sort of must have or recommended rather?

Since we all have different ideas of a "beautiful" face, If it makes life any easier the type of face that I'm trying to go for is a sort of perfect not 100% realistic anime-Japanesish face.

Here are a few examples of what I'm trying to go for.

Easy. Mess around with the sliders to get a feel for them. Put aside up to 2+ hours for customization. Train yourself to accumulate immense amounts of patience. If you need, use references to create the face you want. Not all faces will be the same, or characters in the first place.

 

For example, I use a custom, hand-tailored body mesh and custom textures that I spent hours on. It's not so easy to write a guide up. All it is, is patience, knowledge of the sliders and how they work, and just overall time-consuming hard work.

 

EDIT: A ENB is a must if you want to create some of them faces up there. ^

Google ideal face proportions and go from there. The closer to said proportions and the more symmetric a face is the more attractive it will be.

 

Also keep in mind that a lot of the attractiveness comes from lighting and textures so it's not all just shape.
