Why are faces so difficult to visualize?  
These has been my newly encountered problem!  
Anyone with tips to visualize faces vividly?

Hi,

When meeting someone, Be Attentive to Particulars of their face!

Try doing “people watching” and bring along a sketchbook and use one person and draw particular physical characteristics (even in stick figure format! 🙂 )

You need to work on building visual memory by looking at something…turning away and then visualizing it…Drawing facilitates memory
