EDM Challenge No. 79 - EAR

My left ear... I noticed about halfway through doing it I reached a point where I was thinking 'I can't get any depth/shaping to this with this pen' but I just carried on. I'm still experimenting with hatching directions/styles etc and seeing what effects you get which is why it looks a bit 'measley' hmmm that doesn't look right... 'speckly' sounds better than 'spotty'. I want do it again but in another media - try it in colour perhaps and if I can balance the mirror right perhaps do my right!
Used my 'any old fountain pen' with black ink straight into moleskine notebook...

Self portrait with hat...

Although I like this as a drawing I'm not sure how good a likeness it is... I wanted to pose with hat and was tilting my head up and consequently it doesn't look like what I see in the mirror but I guess we are all made up of many different views.
I laid a graphite ground first on cartridge paper, sketched very lightly the key boundaries of nose / eyes / chin and top of head etc and then rubbed out the highlights and worked up the darks and just carried on doing that...
