ORIGINAL DRAWING LESSON

Earring on the Ear

First, outline the body and earlobe and determine the location of the earring. Then, with light strokes, draw the earring itself, considering its shape, size, and details, such as stones or patterns. Finally, add shadows and highlights to give the earring volume and realism, and show how it interacts with light on the ear.
