What does the person look like?

Choose a person, any one you want, the important thing is that you have a good idea of what the person looks like.

It can be a person from your memory, a real person in front of you, a person in a picture or yourself.

Your task is to describe the person's appearance.

The difficult thing is that you should describe the appearance as neutrally as possible, without judging. That is, you should not evaluate whether what you see is beautiful or ugly.

Variations

Describe the person's appearance, but this time not neutrally. You have been hired as a portrait painter and your task is to make the person appear as beautiful as possible.

This time you are a caricaturist. You were paid to exaggerate the person's facial features, and not in a flattering way.

And now you are the person's mother.

Finally, you bought a car from the person. The car was very expensive and when you got home you discovered a fault that the person did not inform you about.

The form is up to you
