In this paper, we propose an automatic facial phrenology analysis and avatar drawing system based on internet using multi color information and face geometry. In the proposed system, we detect face using logical product of Cr and I which is a components of YCbCr and YIQ color model, respectively. And then, we extract facial feature using face geometry and analyze user's facial phrenology with the classification of each facial feature. And also, the proposed system can make avatar drawing automatically using extracted and classified facial features. Experimental result shows that proposed algorithm can analyze facial phrenology as well as detect and recognize user's face at real-time.
