Tedious fun with Ears

So after creating the head the next part that needs to be modeled is the ear. This is the first ear I have ever modeled and it was not easy. The lobes, shape and curves were a lot harder then I had pre determined. The hardest part was creating the ridges to look like real ear ridges. Although the image bellow has only a flat coloured texture you can get an idea on the ear dynamics. As I continue through this project I am amazed at how much of the human anatomy I am learning and how much we take for granted and not notice on another human. Yet surprisingly even though may not notice it, when its not there or does not look exactly real all of a sudden it is something that noticed and stands outs.
