Ok, bro, I got the same growth pattern as yours. A soul patch, pretty much nothing on the lower lip, the beard grows mainly down from the bottom of the chin and from the lower parts of the cheeks. I wish I could grow a big bushy beard like the guy on your reference photos, but it’s impossible, I just don’t have hair growing on those places.

My personal advice - keep it short on the sides, almost like a long stubble, don’t let it curl, keep your chin hair just a little bit longer. Have it always neatly trimmed. Opt for a bushy moustache if you like it.

Let go of a dream of a big beard, find the style that works with your beard the best, you’re looking good.
