EDM #79 ear. This is from a photo.
I decided to draw from the EDM list. It gives me another incentive to practice, practice, practice.
I started this by turning the picture upside down. Trying to teach my eyes/brain to see what is there, not the idea of what I think the ear looks like. It is a fun practice that I first heard of in Betty Edwards book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain". I came across it again on Wet Canvas.

Ok..whose ear?? (Btw, ears are SO HARD to draw IMO.) I love the idea of turning things upside down..I haven't heard of that. Maybe that would actually help ME! (ok I'm just jealous that you and my husband can both draw really well)
Excellent ear!
Very well rendered. Now you should try drawing from life, although it is a little difficult to turn a real person upside down :-)
BEAUTIFULLY done!! I too find baby's ears more challenging than adults -- you captured this beautifully!
Nice job on the ear. I have used that technique with a few things, thanks for reminding me about it.
Did you think that turning the picture upside down helped? I've found that it really does...especially with faces, which we think we know so well. Nice job!
