Average chinese woman

Average chinese man

Using the faces of the average chinese man and woman, I represented their facial geometry as vectors. Then, I subtracted the facial geometry of the men from the women, and then added that vector to my facial geometry. This results in a more feminine face. We can do this using only shape, only color. or both.

Shape only
