The next topic in our "how to draw" art lessons series is about drawing ears.  Drawing ears can be tricky, so it's a lot easier to break it up into different sections. The external ear is broken up into four parts, and in this sample art lesson from the Online Art School with Justin BUA, we'll cover exactly how to draw the four parts so that you can shape and shade a realistic ear.

You see them when you go to the beach, there's people drawing caricatures on the boardwalk.  When you go to Six Flags you see the guy drawing people and they're all caricatures.  When you look at a newspaper, you see caricatures of famous people (especially politicians).  Yes, caricatures are indeed everywhere - but what does that mean? We called Justin BUA so we could hear from an expert about how to caricatures.

AW: So what defines caricatures? What makes something a caricature?

BUA: Well, caricatures are actually the spirt or the essence of somebody.  Whereas a portrait is really trying to capture, in a naturalistic way, the likeness of the sitter.  A caricature, in my opinion, goes one step beyond because it actually captures the spirit of somebody.  So it doesn't even matter how distorted it is, it can be really out there and really capture the spirit of somebody.  So that's what I feel a good caricature is all about.
