Okay now that we've basically got the features of the face. We indicated the ears but we
didn't do anything with them. And the best way to do ears is, it's almost like the nose.
Less is more. But you have to look at the individual ear. But the lobe of the ear kind
of comes up and this part just comes all the way down and actually goes into the ear. So
I'll just draw this line here and then this, when you're over to this part of the earlobe
it kind of just disappears. But then there's some shadows inside of the ear and that gives
it some depth. And then you have where the earlobe enters the actual ear canal it kind
of curves into there. I'll just indicate that and usually there's an earring or something
there and then on the same one here I'm going to do basically the same thing. But the ears
are usually different. So I'm just going to go in there and pull out the shadow. Going
to indicate the ear canal there. And then sometimes this comes down to where you can
see that it curves. And the same thing on this one. And then depending on where the
light is, if the light source is one side or the other you can shade this ear. And so
those are some ideas and techniques on drawing the ears on coquille board.
