ORIGINAL DRAWING LESSON

Ear

Drawing an ear is an interesting and useful skill that can significantly improve your understanding of anatomy and drawing technique. Start with simple shapes and gradually move to details, trying to accurately convey all the curves and structural features of the auricle. Carefully monitor the smooth transitions between elements to achieve naturalness, and don't forget to work with light and shadow — this will give your drawing volume and realism.
