This unfinished ear was bugging me so I carefully redid it based on my own ear. A struggling comic book artist I met and did some work for in the 90s once criticized the way I drew ears, saying he hated the way I did them. I never paid them much attention until then, and really still don't (I didn't think he was particularly talented so his crit fell on... ahem... deaf ears). I have my usual lines that delineate them and that's it. Drawing too much detail just seems to draw too much attenion to them. Now you're totally looking at his ears, aren't you?

On Deaf Ears
