I'm trying to describe the appearance of one of my characters, a young man who is a pirate. I'm having trouble describing his face...I mean, his facial hair. He has mostly scruffy stubble, on his upper lip, chin, and possibly sideburns. But how do I describe this?
I keep thinking of that one phrase, "a four o'clock shadow..." or maybe it's "a five o'clock shadow..." I can't even remember it correctly. But I need ways to describe his scruffy stubble, lol.
I guess, in a cliche way, I would say my character is "dashing" or at least "good looking" or "handsome..." But I feel like I need better ways to describe his facial appearance. Any suggestions?
