Ears are different than any other part of the face. They have a unique shape and the skin is shinier. Our ears are oilier which creates the shine. I love drawing ears because of the dark darks and the bright whites. A lot of contrast is in the ear.
Step 1
This little guy’s ears do not show the interesting shapes and huge contrasts. I’m up for the challenge anyway.
Since the ear’s shape is so unique, you want to make sure you have an accurate line drawing before you start with the shading.
Step 1 - I started with a B pencil in the darkest areas.
Step 2
Step 2 - After adding the darks, I took the blending stump and blended from dark to light. I adjusted the lighter areas with the kneaded eraser. I re-defined the darks with HB an B pencils.
See? That wasn’t so difficult!
Next time on The Drawing Board is a tutorial on hair.
