Figure Tutorial- Proportions

By

Description

Part one of a series of tutorials about figure construction. Hopefully this will lead into the muscular anatomy tutorial that everyone has been drooling over. Patience, folks... I know this stuff may seem really boring right now, but I can't emphasize how important it really is when it comes to drawing the figure.

There is still some debate about how many heads tall one should make the average adult figure. I've heard anywhere between seven and eight heads tall. Eight heads is what the ancient Greeks used for their statues, though, so those proportions are very much idealized.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Thank you for this! All of the other proportion tutorials were saying 8 1/2 heads! And I was like :ohnoes: because the guy I am drawing is only 7 heads and I thought he looked normal. :XD: So now I know they can range around 7 heads and I feel better. :)
