Step 6: Drawing the ears

Ears are like noses in that they don't do much for expression. They are, however, instrumental in defining character. As always there are no "rules" for drawing ears. But certain ears fit certain personalities better. For example a bully or a thug will usually have small ears with a cross-like interior.

In the image above you can see that the first five rows are actually only five ears. In each row the ear is changed just by adding a lobe or by changing the interior.

The ear above was drawn with the curve tool. Then I added the line near the top. I think this ear looks kind-of angry, and choose it becuase of this.
