PLATE 01 · COURSE FOLIO
Feathering is the art of drawing individual hair strokes that sit with the natural brow. This course is the first plate in our folio: the foundation for learning how a brow is measured, how strokes follow growth direction and how pigment is placed with intent.
PLATE 01 · A — OVERVIEW
Hair-stroke feathering asks for two disciplines at once: the geometry of a well-mapped brow and the lightness of a single convincing stroke. The course is built around both. You study the proportions of the face before you pick up a tool, then learn how stroke length, angle and spacing create a brow that looks grown rather than drawn.
Feathering shares its roots with microblading and sits alongside nano brows as a hair-stroke technique, which makes it a natural first plate before shaded or combination work.

PLATE 01 · B — LEGEND
Every row is a line on the drawing. Together they describe how a feathered brow is constructed. Our Brow Mapping Guide is useful reading before you start.

PLATE 01 · C
Construction
Sequence
01
Brow anatomy, skin considerations, hygiene principles and the proportions that guide every map.
02
Drawing guide lines, setting symmetry and designing a shape that belongs to the face in front of you.
03
Building consistent hair strokes, then reviewing and correcting pattern, spacing and depth with trainer feedback.
Current course duration, training format, dates and what is included are confirmed personally when you enquire about this course.
PLATE 01 · D
Our trainers teach feathering the way a drawing is built: measure first, sketch lightly, commit only when the structure is right. Demonstration is followed by your own practice and close feedback, so you understand why a stroke works, not just how to repeat it.
Both create hair-stroke brows and the terms are often used together. Our feathering guide explains how the approach is described and taught.
Tell us your background when you enquire and we will talk through whether this course is the right starting plate for you.
