I'm not keen on it personally. Shadow beards are more fashionable at the moment. Beards tend to look better on young men trying to look older of on chubby men wanting more definition to the face.
As this man is neither, I don't think he suits a beard; maybe just stubble instead. Hope that helps! :).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
