There is the soft texture, the delicacy of its curves,and the contrasting shapes of the large upper part and theslender lobe. It is a feature of which the amateur too oftenfalls foul. For some inexplicable reason the ear in a weakdrawing is often its worst feature. Invariably it is given aqueer little waist at the central part. 73. Fig. 29.

For, with all thegoodwill in the world, we cannot study this feature alone andwith a hand-glass. The ear is an oblong, the upper part of which is wide, whilethe lower part contracts toward the lobe. It bears a slightresemblance to a huge interrogation mark. The ear is com-posed of so many exquisite curves that it presents a somewhatbaffling subject to the pencil of timid young artists. Look at the ear as one mass and do not at first troubleyourselves with its manifold hollows and curves. Sketchvery lightly the oblong shape.
