Draw a Manga Head - Draw the Ear and Chin

P Stone, licensed to About.com, Inc.
Imagine the top of the head from a bird’s eye view,with a line running across the middle and down the sides of the head - almost like a set of headphones. Sketch this line, and use it to place the base of the jaw and ear as shown.

Draw the ear as a simple loop, between the eyeline and nose guideline.

Draw the jaw and chin line as a simple shallow curve beginning just above the bottom of the ear and ending at the tip of the chin. Be sure to round off the chin.
