Is this a good idea?  It sure is!  There is more to the face than features and bones; there is the soft tissue - muscle, fat, cartilage - which stretches and squashes according to our movement, forming expressions.  

When I began focusing on soft tissue (around 2010), I realized it was yet another element of anatomy.  The surface forms constituted by soft tissue are determined by the muscles and bones underneath them.  The specific patterns of stretch and squash are determined by the actions of particular muscles and where they attach to bone and skin and bone and bone.  

Studying the muscles of the face brings order to chaos and helps one figure out what is what.  Is a lump on the cheek a muscle?  Or is it formed by muscle contractions below the skin drawing the skin together to force the fat into a smaller area (i.e. a lump! Haha).  

So it's a good idea, though incompletely formulated.  To know what is suggested on the surface, one must know what is suggesting it - that is, specifically what is acting below the surface . . . and, specifically, how it acts.
