Andrew here is my completed assignment for the life size ear study. I used my own ear as a reference. Please critique. Thank you.

Hey nicely done! something that comes to mind is trying to remove flat areas (like those around the ear lobe) there are very few actually flat areas in the body so think of these forms as pillows or cushions that have rounded form. also try to vary the transitions between the forms. Keep it up!

Hey these are looking great! I can see all the anatomical forms. If I was going to give a suggestion it might be to try to vary the transitions between the forms. For example the "y" shape inside the ear will have some areas where the transition is a sharp crease and other areas where it is very soft as it moves to the other forms. These subtleties can help take your sculpture to the next level. Keep it up!

Hi Andrew, I’ve attached the ear project. I’d never noticed how amazing the ear design and shape are beautiful…
your idea? Thanks. Dominique

Looking good. I would try to bring the ear out away from the side of the head more, it feels that it's pushed too flat against the study board. Also trying to get those beautiful forms more soft and pillowy by smoothing out the transitions between forms and focusing on subtlety. Keep it up! It's great to see how hard you're working on the course!
