Transcript below cut
Positioning
> usually grows below cheek bone
> connects to the sideburns
> usually grows sparser on either side of the soul patch
> sometimes sparser on the cupid's bow
-> moustache doesn’t always connect with the beard
-> grows down the neck
Stubble
Don’t
• Place hairs chaotically on the face
• Draw each hair the same lenght
Do
• Place hairs in areas of thicker growth
- the stache
- the soul patch
- along the jawline
- on the chin
• Slighty alternate hair lenghts
• Bunch hairs together
Trimmed Beard
-> hair should follow the shape of the face
-> moustache is among the first to grow
-> as the beard grows, hair will be thicker at the bottom and sparser at the top
Tip: to turn stubble into a moustache just add some loose horizontal lines on the ends
Beard
-> Eases into the cheek, less is more
-> Think in shapes! Hair segments will overlap. Show this to add dimension.
-> Moustache starts hiding the upper lip
Different textures
The texture of a black person’s beard is pretty difficult to replicate with a sketching brush!
Try using one that has a coarse texture and is buildable, like a marker or a watercolour one.
