Digitizing Faces V Embroidery Project

	Figure 1- The Right Ear

Each of the ears was created using a fill pattern that contrasts with that of the face structure. By itself, the fill pattern is not enough, so a series of satins were laid on top of the fill to offer enough detail to create a realistic ear. Up close, it may appear flat, and unrealistic, but from a proper viewing distance, the ear looks complete. Simple, but effective.

The key element with all of the facial details is to understand the normal viewing distance, so that a proper determination can be made in regards to amount of detail that will be necessary to achieve the desired affect. Too much detail can be more detrimental than not enough detail.
