Description

This is my first post, so I really hope it doesn't suck :) Hopefully this will be helpful if you struggle with realistic proportions when drawing figures.

Instructions

  1. Small head2 1271355706

    First start with the head. The length from the top of the head to the chin makes up about 1/8 of the length of the body.

  2. Small propside 1271355788

    So take this measurement and repeat it 7 times down the body. Each measurement corresponds to a different part of the body, starting with: -Top of the head to the chin -Chin to the nipples -Nipples to the belly button and elbows -Belly button to the crotch and wrists -Crotch to mid thigh -Mid thigh to the bottom of the knee -Bottom of the knee to mid shin -Mid shin to bottom of feet

  3. Small hipside 1271356267

    The hips should be the larger or the same width as the shoulders. (The waist I did here accidently came out far too small to be real)

  4. Small skbig 1271357428

    You should now have a well proportioned female figure, ready for features and clothes to be added :)
