This picture is to be later modified to have tongue, lips, and teeth in position for every sound in the English language. [Basically, you'll see the insides of what is going on for each sound.]
Out of curiosity, how many sounds are there?
I thought about the ear, and this being my first work, it might be a bit much for me. I am thinking about microUgly's comment, and think he's right. Maybe keeping a simplified look would help, especially at my point in learning inkscape. However, I might try it, since it would help to give a bit more of a lady-like touch.
As for the sounds, there are about 50 different sounds according to IPA, and around 40 lips/teeth/tongue positions. That's another reason to keep it simple. The book that uses a similar style is the Korean SDA Language School book that I taught out of in Mongolia. It has simple diagrams of the positions, and then simple details on how to make the sounds. Many Asian people groups learn better through this method than just trying to imitate the sounds. (Some sounds we have in English aren't even in Mongolian/Chinese/Korean/Japanese.)
I will try to take both pieces of advice and see what happens. I have lots of free time, so it'll be good for me to get some practice! Thanks for the advice, keep it coming!
