Figure and Head Proportions

[Arlene]

Here you see that the body is 8 heads high for the average adult...children are different...

Notice particularly where the elbow's wrist's and fingers fall...

Roughly this is how it works out...the bottom of each head falling:

1. chin
2. mid chest area
3 waist (here's where the elbow falls)
4. mid hip (here's where the wrist falls)
5. mid thigh
6. bottom of the knee
7. mid calf
8. bottom of feet

[Arlene]

here is the head:

notice the head is dissected in half both horitontally and vertically...with the center of the eyes being on the line of where the head dissects

the edges of the mouth fall where the center of the pupil would be in the eyes

the ears are from the eyebrow line to the bottom of the nose line.
