The Proportions of the Human Figure

Obviously people vary in their exact proportions, but using the head as the basic unit, the average man or woman, fully grown, is about 7 1⁄2 to 7 3⁄4 heads tall. However, most drawings and paintings of human beings can be drawn simply as if 8 units made up the height. This would probably be true of a tall person and so is not too out of proportion – in fact it was the measure generally used for beautiful or heroic figures in art history, so you will not find your models complaining! It is certainly an easier proportion to draw than 7 1⁄2 units.
