disability is natural. disability is normal. a person born with a face difference is more natural than perfectly straight, white teeth. we don't have an instinctive fear of disabled people, especially visibly disabled persons. we have been trained year in year out to view disability and visible difference as scary. and to be honest the way to fix that is to just practice. look up people with face differences. there are people out there willingly promoting the visibility of people like them to help change the stigma around face differences. go to changingfaces (dot) org (dot) uk and click on the real stories page. people are reaching out, doing the work, willing to put themselves out there, sharing their stories, for better representation. for other people to start treating them like the human beings that they are, and less like a spectacle. do the bare minimum, and go look.

Hi, do you have any good resources explaining common types of facial differences (preferably with pictures)? I already have a character with a port wine birthmark, but I want to incorporate a variety of facial differences in my body of work.

Hey! I'm glad you're interested in learning more about facial differences :) (smile) Especially with having more than one character.

My main recommendation would be "Types Of Visible Difference" by ChangingFaces. You can read it here. There are other pages linked there (the "see our page on X") that break specific types of facial differences further with pictures and/or descriptions, either way giving you basic information on what to google search for further research. A big category that this page is missing are facial differences caused by chromosomal conditions, which are extremely common (for example Down Syndrome).

There is also "Defining Facial Differences" by AboutFace that has way more entries, but there are no photos and it has a lot of medical language. If you're just looking for ideas it can be great to just read the little blurb written about the condition and then search for actual pictures if that's something you're looking for. It also allows you to filter for congenital and acquired conditions which is pretty cool (and also see that a huge portion of facial differences is congenital).

The third (worst) option is just going through Wikipedia pages in the "skin-related conditions" or "craniofacial syndromes" categories, but a lot of these are very rare/obscure and a lot of them don't have images attached. The first two options are much better in my opinion, but it's still something.

My personal recommendations for common but unrepresented facial differences to incorporate would be craniofacial conditions (e.g., Treacher Collins or Apert Syndromes), chromosomal disorders (e.g., Wolf–Hirschhorn or Down Syndromes), cranial nerve diseases (they're mostly just differentiated by numbers unfortunately, but there's a couple of them), and cancers of the head and/or neck. It would be nice to see them shown more, especially in a positive light.

I hope this helps,

I made a little joke for my mother. It’s a changing face game: four circles that overlap and can turn make up the eyes, nose, mouth, and eyebrows, with four variations painted on each circle. And then there are four hairstyles that frame the face that can be swtched up. It was a lot of fun to make! #facegame #collage #changingfaces #retro #joke https://www.instagram.com/p/B6rA1PUlV0k/?igshid=eh3dgp8ur0pn

Hello, my mom developed facial paralysis at six months on the left side of her face, and I shared the changingfaces site with her, and it made her extremely happy to see the people and their stories that were featured on there. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you sharing that site because I was unfamiliar with that project existing.

hi!! i'm so happy to hear that 😊 thank you for telling me!!!
