Today in class, students finished up their ear drawings. Ears are tricky to draw. So much attention must be paid to the "ridges and valleys" to make it look 3-D. Students learned a shading technique called "shadow mapping" that helps with this process. After finishing their ear, they also tried their hand at drawing hair. The image below was the final "inspiration image."
