"Hi. I'm David Clemen on behalf of Expert Village. Today we're going to learn how to draw characters. Okay now that we drawn some eyes, noses and mouths, usually the characters are going to have to hear or they won?t be able to hear. So anyway we're going to draw some ears and basically we all know the normal shape of an ear. It's just kind of like this. We can make them funny ears, square ears. You can indicate a line there. You can put another line there for the hearing canal. You can put a big one there, you can put the hole here, darken it. You can pierce the ear. You can add big hoopy earrings. There are lots of different things. You can make them super jumbo ears. Elephant ears. You have horse ears. Cat ears. You can use these on people which is really kind of funny. So you can pretty much do anything you like with ears and it just adds some humor to the character that you're drawing. A serious ear to the side with a small diamond earring. The smallest ear ever with a huge hoop earring. So these are examples of ears."
