This is a writing exercise I was introduced to in my high school creative writing class. The point is to practice writing descriptions and work on becoming more astute about surroundings and all details. The goal is to be able to get a clear mental picture of the person after reading the description.
This one in particular I jot down about my friend Laura. It's just a quick sketch. Nothing fancy or well-written. Just descriptions.
slouched over, eating a frost, meticulously scraping the bottom of the cup for the last chocolatey drop.
comfy black cotton pants and a plain black cotton t-shirt with a hint of the purple lace undershirt covering her cleavage. Sitting in a position of repose. rectangular black metal glasses sit on the slight ridge of her nose, small & straight. Pale peach skin blooms rosy on her cheeks. clear complexion. small mole on the lower left side of her jaw. full pink lips prone to a pouty moue.
when she smiles, dimples show on either side of her face. sparkly, red crescent hoop earrings. soft, square jawline tapering to a pointed chin. slightly curved dark orange eyebrows. vibrant orange-red hair that shines with health, hangs thick and straight to the shoulders with just a slight wave at the tips. Long bangs part at the crown over the right eyebrow. Hair tucked behind the ears.
brown socks with a hole where the right big toe sticks out. Black hair tie around the right wrist. No watch. Fairly large, capable hands without nail polish. Short nails with a little bit of dirt or paint underneath. A claddagh ring on her right hand with the heart pointing outward.
