I'm not a fan of detailed physical descriptions of chars like you are, [@The Mad Hatter]. I feel they aren't necessary and takes a lot of work for me to imagine each slight part of their feature - unless, of course, the particular feature comes into play in the story at a particular point, for example Harry Potter having eyes like his mother's. I much prefer large brush strokes when describing their physical looks, like a caricature; something that gives me an idea what they look like and I can fill in the rest - just like the world or the story the char is in. The whole lot is mostly filled in by the reader's imagination with scaffolding in place by the author, and necessary pieces that the author insists is rather important to the narrative to convey the message, set up the plot, or to create the wanted atmosphere.
