Describing Characters Help???

Okay, so can you give me some example of a person? I want to work on my imagining skills, so I need you to describe someone.

For example

His golden hair glistened in the sun; slender;tall.

I don't know! Just give me maybe examples from a book describing someone really good.

    I'm making this up right now, so bear with me.

    Marie watched in amusement as the young man approached her. The man's jade green eyes sparkled in mischief and the harsh sunlight gave his golden hair an almost unearthly glow. His medium built frame guided across the earth, almost as if gravity didn't affect him the same way it affected others of his structure.

    "Marie." his lips parted slightly as he spoke, and only now was he close enough for Marie to see the small scar that ran from his left cheek to his jawline.

    So yeah, this is kind of a fail. I made it in like two minutes. Could it be better? Heck yes. But for now that's all I've got. Anyways its really better to give only small hints about your character's appearance and leave the rest up to your reader's mind.
