Draw the Ears

Take a picture of your own ears or find some good photos online (get some with clear light and shadows). Follow my step-by-step lesson to complete the drawing. Rewatch the lesson to review all the anatomical details. Those take a few times to understand. Draw the ears from multiple angles

It is useful to have the reference, so I could more or less follow the tutorial. I hope there will be more detailed explanations in the drawing course about shadow mapping and shading, it is still quite mysterious to me.

I drew 100 Ears. This took longer than I intended. I had some real-life stuff(quite the rarity). Enjoyed my time amongst these cavernous cartilages. Trying to improve my shading. Some of the different angles were hard to get. I definitely used up some erasers with these. I think the biggest challenge was the impersonal nature of the subject matter. Other features are evocative but ears, especially the unadorned variety, are not especially emotive. I think that's why I found myself dragging my feet a bit. All in all, plenty to improve upon, but happy with the practice.

Whoa! I bet, when you close your eyes, all you can see are ears. And when you walk on the street, ears everywhere ;) But seriously, fantastic drawings. I know that ears are supposed to be unique, like finger prints, but your exercise really drove it home for me. Such glorious diversity!

Wow, awesome work Joseph! You really pay attention to details.. so meticulous, i dont think i have the patience for. And super hatch work. I like the wrinkley ones.. maybe cuz they seem harder to draw, not sure. You made a very interesting point on the relationship with the ears, i've never thought of that before.
