How to identify a compact skull?

The entire face divided by width is less than 1.38

The entire face divided by width is more than 1.38

Thank god, I thought I got a compact skull out of nowhere. Turns out I was just bloated

That’s long
It’s compact enough if it’s less then 1.38
And too compact below ~1.30

Also, the appearance of a compact face can be influenced by things like the midface ratio, bone projection, leanness, etc.

You didn’t get a compact skull out of nowhere lol
but check the measurement again, he got it wrong

How can you tell with bone projection? Is it when the zygomatic and the massester have the same projection?

Jfl my brain collapsed doing the math and im a stem kid good at geometry

When he meant compact, I think he meant too compact, otherwise ideal?

All these are factors but the biggest factor by far is the entire face shape, then midface ratio

Fwhr kinda sucks as a ratio because it is very influenced by midface and you can have great zygos which can change perception despite low fwhr

No no, I mean your face can look more/less compact based on different things

But the tfwhr measurement is if it’s actually compact or not

All these are factors but the biggest factor by fat is the entire face shape, then midface ratio

Yeah if you have very protruding zygos, FWHR can be kinda misleading
you gotta look at it case by case and see all the measurements together

I dont like fwhr itself as a measurement in general because it is kinda limiting as a ratio tbh and also because it doesnt account for actual skull size and important things like lower third and short

K shami has subhuman fwhr but nobody sees the horseness because his tfwhr is ideal, only midface is the problem

Compact skull is usually bad right?
