Here for the ear! For this one I kinda wanted to get a suppleness across - which I don't think I really managed with the other features so far. Pretty happy with it overall, except for the back.
Struggled with the conch and the back + underside in general. Couldn't mentally relate the internal ear to the external shape of the conch. Although next time I would perhaps stick holes right through the clay early on to gauge the thickness of certain areas.
LESSON NOTES
Listen up! Artist Andrew Joseph Keith discusses the anatomy and simplified shapes of the ear and how you can sculpt it. He breaks down the different parts of the ear and shows how you can simplify them into easier shapes. He also provides tips on identifying and recognizing these forms when sculpting. Watch out for future lessons where he’ll demo how to sculpt the ear using this anatomy. If you like this lesson, check out the premium course!

Sculpt a life size ear study!
You can use your own ear for reference or ask a friend, just make sure to get lots of angles.
The ear in my process is important, from there I assemble the face and the occipital
THe ear is a little larger than life size. I found it is hard to smooth the sculpture on this scale.
Ive been wearing these ears for decades and had no idea I had such a big ear lobe! So, how did I do?

nicely done ear! Great to see that you're making progress on the assignments. The only critique might be to pay attention to the transitions between the forms of the ear and where those transitions are sharp and where they are soft. more subtlety will help for a more life like feel in the sculpt. Great job!
