- A very nice and simple technique for…drawing convincing ears, is to use a…straight line with a couple of curves.…As you can see up here,…we have our straight line, and then a curve,…and a second curve, and here there's a break.…And it's really that simple.…So, as we follow along the right side,…you can see how with applying some internal lines,…we create this form.…The internal shape here is like the letter, pi.…Very simplified.…But by varying the degree of the curvature of…these inner strokes, breaking them down a little further,…you can get some very nice looking ears.…
So, let's do one from scratch.…So again, we'll draw a curve,…a straight, and a second curve.…And we know that we have our break here,…but now let's just draw through.…In this case, I can draw a little S curve or a C curve.…Let's make an S curve and see what it looks like.…But like the little, whatever this thing is,…i never know the name of it.…Then, whatever internal shape you want.…I'm going to get fancy with this.…You could make it like a bulge like that.…
