What are the proportions of the sketched human body?

The so-called proportion refers to the frontal and horizontal perspective

There is a ratio of 7.5 heads and a ratio of 8 heads.

You can record it according to the 8 heads. Well, if you are short and fat, you can adjust the angle of view accordingly

The horizontal line from the chin to the nipple is one head

The horizontal line from the nipple to the navel is one head

There is one head from the navel to the pubic bone

There are two heads from the greater trochanter (or pubic bone) to the tibial tuberosity. (This is also the length of the thigh)

From the tibial tuberosity to the sole of the foot It has two heads

The hands are about two-thirds the length of the head

The feet are seven-sevenths the length of the body, which means it is a little longer than the head.

The upper arm naturally droops to the height of one side of the navel

The forearm naturally droops and the wrist is at the same height as the greater trochanter

The width of the male shoulder is nearly two heads long. The width of the female shoulder is slightly shorter

The above proportions are based on men. For women, the proportions should be reduced accordingly. It depends on your own feelings, because in actual operation, it is mainly based on visual inspection. The main reason is the change caused by foreshortening.
