Style: match the attached base exactly, which is cel-shaded glossy clay with flat fills, one hard shadow tone, small white specular highlights and bold dark-brown outlines at the base's line weight. The hair must read as hair or sculpted clay hair in its own colour, never skin-toned.

Facing: three-quarter-right, the same as the base, with the head turned slightly back to the viewer; the far (viewer's right) side of the beard is foreshortened.

Placement: the facial hair grows from the base's face with no gap between hair and skin. A moustache sits on the upper lip directly under the nose, with its top edge at y~322 tucked under the nose bottom. It is centred near x=545, under the nose, rather than at x=532, and spans about x 470-625.

The mouth line is y=347, centred x=532; part the moustache or leave a small opening there so a mouth shows. Beards grow from the cheeks and jaw starting about y=268, inside x 385-640, so the ears (x 305-385 and 620-655) stay uncovered. They wrap the chin (y=435) and may hang down over the neck and chest to at most y=1007, inside x 329-735.

Never touch the raised hand or forearm (x>780). Never cover the eyes (y~240, x 475 and 590) or the nose (about x 505-600, y 250-320). Never draw skin, a chin, a face or hair on top of the head.

This layer is in front of everything, so draw nothing that would sit behind the head.
