How to Make Anime Ears
- 1
A simple shape is all you need to start the ear.
Draw a curved line that resembles a "C" shape. Make the top of this shape wider than the bottom to create the correct proportions. - 2
Curved lines help show the inner parts of the ear.
Add a parallel curved line to the top inside of the "C" shape. Add a diagonal line to the bottom inside of the "C" shape to create the slight fold of the earlobe. Draw a slightly curved line coming off the middle of the inside parallel line. - 3
The anime ear with more details.
Draw an "L"-shaped line from the inner curved line to the right of the curved line. Add a shorter vertical line to the left of the curved line. - 4
Inked lines will appear bold and crisp.
Ink the illustration. Let the ink dry and carefully erase the pencil lines. - 5
You can color the ear with art markers.
Color the ear using art markers. Use beige as the base color. Add shadows with tan or light brown to the bottom and sides of the ridges. Add dark pink to the inner ear to make the inner ear appear shadowed.
