Study on Drawing Ears – Take a Look at How These Ears Have Been Drawn

When drawing the human ear be careful about placing it on the right spot and at the correct angle. The ear is placed at the outer edge of the jawbone and the angle runs parallel with the length of the nose. A well-drawn ear is a thing of beauty. The curved forms should be very carefully observed and followed. Many a fine study of the human head is spoiled by shoddily drawn ears. These drawings are from an old book by Willy Pogany.
