medium sideburns
Sideburns that go pass the mid section of the ear, but do not reach the jaw bone like long sideburns.
Examples:-
- short vs medium sideburns:
- long sideburns:
Meaning
The sideburns are typically used as a masculine trait for younger characters, characters that can't grow facial hair, or just as a design choice.
Artists that are used to drawing masculine characters or bara style tend to emphasize the sideburns' length and width

While artists that draw more bishounen-esque characters usually pay them less attention and might draw them thinner, shortener or inconsistently
