Solid Cartoon Facial Stubble | comment |
In illustrated and animated media, hair is usually depicted to show the general form, but not sufficiently granular to show each individual strand. The result of this is that subtler hairstyles are hard to get right. This goes for facial hair, as well, as while it's easy to draw a full beard, showing a character only has slight facial hair could be challenging. Fortunately, filling in the jawline with a solid color (usually brown, gray, or brownish gray) is a pretty effective shorthand for this, allowing the appearance of a slight beard without requiring distracting and/or difficult levels of detail. This trope is not simply a cartoon character having a five o'clock shadow. This trope refers specifically to stubble being illustrated by filling in the affected area with a solid color (or occasionally, a gradient), as if the selected area was filled with the paint bucket tool. The area will sometimes have an outline, or a few added details, but the color does the bulk of the work. In some digitized forms of animation, solid-colored stubble is usually drawn in its own distinct vector or shape to allow for easy coloration. The stubble lines would "pull" or automatically fill in the coloring whenever they are moved or reshaped. Traditional cel-shaded animation, on the other hand, would have everything redrawn and recolored with every movement. Contrast Perma-Stubble, where a five o' clock shadow is meant to portray grit. This trope is about the animation technique, rather than the significance of the stubble. Compare Tooth Strip, where the general shape of the teeth are shown, as opposed to each tooth individually. |

LEGO Island: In the first game, the lower half of the Brickster's face is solid gray to represent stubble. It's a bit of Early Installment Character-Design Difference, since the sequels (and the physical LEGO sets for Island Xtreme Stunts) give him more detailed stubble represented as tiny black dots on his yellow skin. | |

The Road to El Dorado: Tulio sports a solid brownish-grey stubble throughout the entire movie, in addition to a soul patch. It also counts as Perma-Stubble, as he never shaves it off. | |

The Simpsons: Homer Simpson, his father Abe, and most male members of the Simpson family have what looks like a light brown muzzle for a beard. Homer is unable to shave without it growing back almost immediately. Despite not being a Simpson, Lenny Leonard has it too. | |

Total Drama: Chris McLean has a tanny row of stubble reaching from his jawline to his ear level, and extending upwards around his mouth. This is further accentuated in A Blast From The Past, where Chris becomes paranoid about being replaced by a younger looking host, and thus, his facial hair is temporary gone. | |

Steven Universe: Greg Universe has a pear-shape of dark stubble under his nose and around his mouth and cheeks, except in flashbacks to before Steven's birth when he looked more like his smooth-faced son. This falls in line with Greg's otherwise-unkempt appearance. When Steven ages himself up into a young adult in "So Many Birthdays", he has dark shading around his square jawline, yet loses it when he gets to middle age. |

The Fairly OddParents!: Adult Timmy from "The Big Problem", being a series of Bait-and-Switch setups regarding his desire for adulthood, shows him fantasizing to be a muscular, clean shaven man, only to instead be mildly overweight and have solid gray stubble on the bottom half of his face. "Love Struck" sees the world divided between men and women. With men taking less care for keeping up their appearances, almost all of them have gray stubble form an arch over their mouths. Channel Chasers: The figure hunting down Timmy and his fairies has a rectangular patch of gray, extending from his jaw to his upper lip. |

SpongeBob SquarePants: Episodes set in the caveman times like to put brown circles around the male characters' mouths to show them unshaven - despite fish not having facial hair. "SB-129" has lemon-shaped tan encircling the lips of SpongeBob and Patrick's primitive ancestors. "Ugh" has a pinky-tan oval surrounding the mouths of both SpongeGar and Patar. Squog, due to his unorthodox design, has this color in the entire area between the eyes and neck on the front. |

Gravity Falls: Grunkle Stan has practically half his face covered in a solid colored grey color to indicate stubble. Zigzagged, however, as his own twin brother, Ford, has a grey gradient on his face to indicate a more clean-shaven face, though later it's shown that he prefers burning all his facial hair off over shaving. A flashback shows them both with grey gradients when they were younger, but one also has short lines to indicate thicker stubble since he's been driven paranoid and hasn't been taking care of his appearance. | |
