SHEET I · TECHNIQUES

Technique & Foundation Notes

Start with how each brow is made. Hair-stroke styles are drawn line by line, and shaded styles are built up in tone. Every one of them relies on the same measured map.

NOTE I.1 · HAIR-STROKE

What Is Eyebrow Feathering? A Training Guide

What feathering means, how fine strokes copy natural brow hair and why stroke direction matters more than stroke count.

NOTE I.2 · HAIR-STROKE

Microblading Explained for Aspiring Brow Artists

A guide to the manual hand tool, the depth and rhythm of each stroke, and how the technique responds to different skin.

NOTE I.3 · MACHINE HAIR-STROKE

SHEET II · CHOOSING TRAINING
