    Locate the 3 guide points

    A vertical line up from the nostril marks the head, a line from the nostril through the center of the pupil marks the arch, and a line through the outer corner of the eye marks the tail. These three points ensure balanced proportions.

    Round face: Moderate arch

    For a round face, create a slightly higher arch to draw focus upward. Keep the tail moderately short so the face does not look wider.

    Long face: Low arch & longer tail

    Oval face: Natural curve
