Ear piercing chart

Carol, our piercer, asked for an ear chart. Something for our clients and also to help me understand the variety of ear piercings. First I drew an ear with subtle dimension. Crosshatching was my best bet because I wanted it to obviously differentiate from the gradient shades of the jewelry. That and it still has to look cool.

It's not finished yet, but the idea seems to be working. Keep the ear subtle and unaltered, highlight the actual piercing, then sit back and be happy the options are direct.
