Human ear fine ink study

One human ear in side three-quarter view with a clear outer helix, inner folds and soft lobe, a small adjoining head plane only. Practice structure, perspective and developed values in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Place the tilted outer ear and rounded lobe.

2. Connect the structure

   Connect the inner folds back into the ear bowl.

3. Develop the drawing

   Resolve the connected planes and overlaps, then build layered details and a full range of local values. Preserve clear paper highlights.

A small thing to tryKeep the inner folds inside the outer ear boundary.
