Drawing

Yep, it's an ear. It's not much in the way of progress but I'm pretty happy about it. It's something solid in the way of that second figure. Also I almost never start drawing a person at the ear. I usually start at the eyes. I think the ear is a bit closer to the other figure's chin than it should be but I think it will work out for the best. I think more of the face will fit in the composition properly. I may have just lost a bit of hair in the move but really nothing major. I've had a hard time trying not smear the work I've already got done. I did find putting a pen under my arm helped quite a bit.
Overall I'm pretty nervous about this second figure. I can't even get the sketching of the eye quite right, also it's not often that I do a drawing, or painting for that matter, with two figures. I'm worried about getting the proportions correct in relation to each other. This drawing is proving to be more of a challenge for me than I originally thought. But the challenge is good.
I'm still unsure if the background should be black or white. I'm still leaning more toward white. Though I'm thinking I may come in with a 4B pencil when I'm done and darken up some of the shadows a bit. Maybe even use a 6B in the hair. I think it will definitely up the depth a bit to bring in some darker shading. I could probably even push it more with my 2B, but I think I'll get the second figure done and then go back over it.
