How to Draw a Beard in 3D
(the Self Induced Migraine)

Here’s how to create three dimensional beard synergy in 3 easy steps.

You will need:
– A black and white drawing of a face (I stole mine from Valery Goulet)
– Highlighters. 1 red. 1 blue
– 3D glasses

What you will need

 

Start by drawing a beard on your face (the drawing, not your own) with one of the highlighters (I chose blue to start).

Blue

Once your first colour is complete, draw with your other colour, lines that slightly overlap the originals. In theory, the less overlap the closer the beard will appear and vice versa.

detail

Keep going until you have completed all of the lines/beard hairs. Once complete, put on your 3D glasses and have a look.

finished

You will see that it sort of works. Now remove your glasses and enjoy the aching sensation that has found its way behind each of your eyes.
