In this video, you will discover how to draw ears. I will draw in reed pen and sepia ink. This way, you will clearly see all lines. I will now show how to draw an ear in the front view. The helix curves outward, and the antihelix might partly cover its outline. The lobule outline defines the shape of the ear’s lower third. Two arms of the antihelix are pointing upward like the character “Y”; one arm connects to the skull and the other supports the helix. The concha ends with the notch between the tragus and antitragus. I will now make an ear drawing in the back view. Once again, the helix spans outward of the head. The lower third is taken by the lobule. At the top, there is a contour of the antihelix, and at the bottom, the contour of the concha.
The shape of the ears varies greatly from person to person; therefore, the ear’s proportions vary as well. Although the anatomy is the same for all people, geometry is not set in stone. You will find many variations of ear outlines in life. To improve your drawing skills, you have to make multiple sketches from life and memory.
Here’s a good exercise for you. You can draw from imagination several sketches of the same ear freehand without squares and circles, every time starting from a different point. For example, the first sketch I started with the helix, the other one with the antihelix. Do as many sketches as required for you to memorize the ear’s construction. This knowledge will help you to draw portraits more skillfully.
We do not comprehend what we don’t know; and without understanding the ear’s anatomy, it is very challenging to copy its outlines from life. Draw an ear in different views-in profile, front, and back views. Take a mirror and use yourself as a model. You are the most patient and available model you will ever get, always ready to pose.
