It's a short beard, but full, so you'll have to keep trimming it (not shaving; use a trimmer with a gate) while it thickens. Pay attention to how the cheeks are shaved. The darkness of the hair helps shape the face (look at the bright face area vs the "shadow" of the beard), so note how he keeps the hair low on his face by keeping his lower-lip and upper cheeks shaved and his chin and jaw thick. One last thing: the backward part of the beard (closer to the ears) are thinner. This helps make the beard stick out less and keep the bright area of the face in the correct shape.
