The ear was the most complex shap that had to be created, with all the dips and folds modeling it from just the side view would not have been very easy. To get the ear started i designed the ear first in photo shop, first picking out the key areas and from that i began to create quads.
I saved this reference image and imported it into max like the last refernence image.
I then used the same method i used before to model the face. I followed the lines at first but i ended up having to make a lot of adjustments to the quads to get them to flow. Once the ear is modeled in the left view i used the front view and started to pull out the verts to give the ear some shape. I started with the outer edge of the ear and moved in. Once the ear was shaped i added more detail into the ear by using the inset too in the edit poly modifier. I used this to create the ear cannel, and to give the top of the ear the overlap.
Once the main shape was made i created a back for the ear by shift dragging out the outside of the ear and pulling it towards the head. Then using the method again but with the scale tool to create a back.
