INSIGHTS INTO AN Brenda Hoddinott P-09 INTERMEDIATE: PEOPLE An ear is easy to draw when you become familiar with, and can sketch the shapes of its five major sections. In this project, you draw a realistic ear, by first sketching the individual parts that make up the overall shape, and then indicating the forms with crosshatching graduations. This project is divided into the following three sections: ¾LOOKING INTO EARS: Other than differences in size, the ears of both adults and children are very similar. Yet, if you look around you at the ears of diverse people, you can see tons of variations. Some experts even claim that ears are as unique to each human being as fingerprints. In this section, you examine ears of various shapes and sizes, and refer to an illustration of an ear to identify its five basic parts. ¾FROM OVAL-SHAPE TO EAR-SHAPE: You sketch the five parts of an ear as viewed straight-on to the side of the head. ¾SHADING EAR FORMS: Your goal in this section is to define the three dimensional forms of an ear by add shading with crosshatching graduations. Suggested drawing supplies include good quality white drawing paper, graphite pencils, kneaded and vinyl erasers, and a pencil sharpener. This project is recommended for fine art educators, and artists from age 12 to adult with good drawing skills. 7 PAGES – 10 ILLUSTRATIONS Published by Hoddinott Fine Art Publishers, Halifax, NS, Canada – March, 2006 - 2 - INSIGHTS INTO EARS Other than differences in size, the ears of both adults and children are very similar. Yet, if you look around you at diverse people, you can see tons of variations in shape. Some experts even claim that ears are as unique to each human being as fingerprints. Examine these ears of various shapes and sizes; some are straight-on views, and others are seen from the front or at an angle. ILLUSTRATION 09-01 Drawing an ear turns out to be a little less intimidating when you can identify its five basic parts. Refer to the numbers and arrows in this drawing to become familiar with each. ILLUSTRATION 09-02 1. OUTER RIM: the long form down the outside edge that meets up with the earlobe at the lower section. 2. INNER RIM: the small long form inside the ear, which circles the rear of the opening to the ear canal. 3. SMALL LOBE: the small round form over the frontal section of the opening to the ear canal that joins the earlobe at the front of the ear (where the ear joins the face). 4. EAR CANAL: the opening to the inner ear. 5. EARLOBE: the soft, fleshy, lower part.

Use an HB pencil, and keep the lines light. Oh, and no need to mark the numbers on your sketch! ILLUSTRATION 09-03 ILLUSTRATION 09-05 1) Sketch an oval to represent the shape of an ear. The upper section is somewhat tilted to the right, and is a little wider than the lower section. As you draw, constantly double check the proportions of your sketch, and modify if needed. ILLUSTRATION 09-04 2) Outline the shape of the outer rim. The snake-like shape of the outer rim (1) begins inside the oval, then extends up, toward the right, and finally curves downward along the outside edge of the ear. 3) Outline a comma-shape for the inner rim (2). This shape is wider at the top, and becomes narrower as it curves to the left at the bottom. 4) Sketch the outline of a small oval as the small lobe (3). 5) Add a tiny oval to mark the opening to the ear canal (4). ILLUSTRATION 09-06 6) Outline a large round shape as the earlobe (5). 7) Pat the entire sketch with your kneaded eraser until you can barely see the lines.

Accurately rendering, the curved lines around the frontal and lower sections of the ear canal, are key to making the ear look real. Note the compound curves of the line that connects the inside edges of the small lobe to the inner rim. SHADING EAR FORMS Gather your pencils and prepare to add shading to the various parts of the ear. ILLUSTRATION 09-08 Remember, you create different values by varying the density of the individual shading lines, and the pressure used in holding different grades of pencils. 9) Add light shading to the earlobe, small lobe, and the inner and outer rims. Your goal is to identify their three dimensional forms. Use whichever grades of pencils work best for you as you add the various values.
