👂 How to Draw an Ear (Step by Step Tutorial for Beginners)
Learn how to draw a realistic ear easily with this step-by-step pencil drawing guide. Perfect for beginners who want to understand ear structure, proportion, and shading.
✏️ Step 1: Draw the Ear Outline
Start by sketching a vertical oval shape.
This oval will represent the outer boundary of the ear.
Keep your lines soft and light.
💡 Tip: The ear’s top usually aligns with the eyebrows, and the bottom with the nose when placed on a face.
✏️ Step 2: Draw the Inner Curve (Helix)
Inside the oval, draw a large curved line following the outer edge — this is called the helix.
It looks like a big “C” shape wrapping around the ear.
✏️ Step 3: Add the Inner Ear Fold (Antihelix)
Now draw a smaller “Y” shape in the middle of the ear.
This forms the antihelix, which gives the ear depth.
✏️ Step 4: Draw the Ear Hole (Concha)
In the lower middle part, draw an oval or bean shape — that’s the concha, leading to the ear canal.
Add a little curve near it for the tragus, the small bump in front of the ear hole.
✏️ Step 5: Add the Earlobe
At the bottom, draw a small soft oval or rounded curve — this is the earlobe.
Keep it simple, as this part doesn’t have sharp lines.
✏️ Step 6: Shade for Realism
Start shading softly inside the ear folds.
Use a 2B pencil for light shading and 4B or 6B for darker tones.
Keep the light source in mind — one side should stay lighter.
🎨 Pro Tip: Avoid harsh lines inside the ear. Blend slowly using tissue or blending stump.
🎨 Materials Used:
- HB pencil for outline
- 2B–6B pencils for shading

🌟 Pro Tip:
Practice drawing the ear from different angles — side, back, and three-quarter views.
This will make your portrait drawings look much more realistic and natural
