Like fingerprints, the shape of a person’s ear is unique to the person. The fundamental structure of everyone’s ears, however, is basically the same. As long as you know how to draw all of the basic parts, you’ll end up with a fine ear.

At first, I’d like you to take a look at what makes up a human ear. I have included names of each part in this lesson when you follow the link below, for reference. If you can grasp how these parts come together, you will be able t use that knowledge to draw any kind of ear on any type of character.

It might help you get better understanding if you touch and feel the shape of your own ears. The gap in the Y-shaped fossa of anthelix stands out the most. Conversely, the part that creates the deepest shadow is the concha. The helix could be called the edge of the ear, and so it creates a shadow similar to a lid or rim. The antilobium is there to protect the hole that leads to the ear canal.

The following link will take you to the tutorial to show how the steps are taken to drawing the ear. :bulletblue::bulletblue:www.howtodrawmanga.com/howtodr… :bulletblue::bulletblue:

The lesson is directed by Koda Tadashi. Enjoy and good drawing……!!
Depending on the style, anime hair can be very complex. However, if you break it down into its basic components, the process of drawing anime hair becomes a little simpler.

Like real hair, anime hair is composed of many strands. However, rather than drawing each individual strand, the hair is often drawn in various sized/shaped clumps. These are some of the simplest forms of each hair style. Notice that in most cases, the outline is more curvy on the bottom of the hair clump. This is especially apparent on the top leftmost example; the lower line is curvier than the top line, giving the hair more depth and more of that anime-ish look. Sometimes this is highly exaggerated, and other times it is hardly noticable, but for most anime hair styles, each individual strand of hair will have this basic shape.

Once you know how to draw each strand/clump of hair, you can start putting them together to form more something that more resembles anime hair. The same similar shapes generally persist throughout many different hairstyles. Making one line curve out more than the other on each strand can really help to flesh it out.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you can make the hair as detailed as you like; just keep adding more strands. You can find the examples here....  www.howtodrawmanga.com/howtodr…
