It's a pretty good analysis, although I think there are more factors. Example given: The total symmetry of the face isn't the ultimate beautyness, it is too sterile. I think it's the little asymmetric things in a highly symmetric face that gives people their characteristics.
sample: marylin monroe. The asymetric brows signal some kind of sceptism, arrogance maybe.
Of course I know they are not real, only painted :) but I'm talking about the skull shape.
Well btw now I just realize I am looking kind of like the guy labeled as " The prototypic male face of low attractiveness ("unsexy face")" on this page:

I just thought it might be of interest to people who might be trying to model humans.
Lot's of the faces I've seen, have been 'unfinished', and the more knowledge we have, the more finished we can make them.
I realize the first Lara Croft models were just 3 triangles with 2 placed at chest height. However, that just won't cut it today.

Absolutely. I also tend to like slightly asymetrical faces as well. A beautiful smile can make a woman much more attractive, regardless of the symetry of her face.

Of course, absolutely.
Very good Links. But If you have to point the right direction about modeling or drawing humans is the anatomy of the human body.
