Do you find ears difficult to draw?

For me it's their anatomy. Why is that weirdly shaped, cup of cartilage so confusing to look at?

They're hard enough to draw in the standard side view. Let alone anything more adventurous - and forget the back view. What does that even look like... really?

Is it any wonder we have trouble drawing ears when we overlook them so often?

Lets face it, the eyes, nose and mouth are the true stars of the show. Ears get forgotten about. We pay them no attention.

They can't express, and they're on the side of our heads not the front. So even when we're talking to other people we don't get a good look at them. Why would we place any importance on ears at all when it comes to learning how to draw them?

Of course we all know they are important. Anyone who draws comics knows that.

Because it's all good and well to fudge ears, and hope for the best - but the moment we turn the head to look at it from the side, or back, or any other angle where ears become more visible - boy do we realize how dire our ear drawing deficit really is.

The good news is, I have a new Skillshare Class to help you tick ears off your list of 'things to get good at drawing.'

It focuses specifically on drawing ears from all sorts of angles.

By the end of it, you'll be well acquainted with ear structure, shape and anatomy. I'll even show you how to foreshorten it in those trickier top down and bottom up perspectives.

Just click here to watch the class now.

Here's a complimentary reference sheet. You can use it as you go through the lessons to make sure your ear sketches are on track.

I had a lot of fun creating this class for you, and I hope you get a ton of value out of it. Thanks for checking it out - looking forward to seeing your ear studies in the projects section. Good luck!
