Use what you learned to create your own proportion chart.

Mark Out Your 8 Sections:
Make a chart dividing the figure into eight equal parts, from the head to the pelvis.
Detail Upper Body:
Divide the upper sections into thirds to accurately place the rib cage.
Add Main Body Parts:
Draw the head, rib cage, and pelvis, considering how they align with the spine.
Sketch Limb Positions:
Outline the legs with simple lines to show their direction.

Deadline - submit by Feb 16, 2025 for a chance to be in the critique video!

Finally got time to draw Wondering how to decide the width of the head? Like how wide compares to the height

Anthony Hernandez

Depends on the specific person of course, but the sort of "standard" I've seen is 2/3 of the height. So you start with a square (or circle), then you take half of that square and add it to the bottom for the chin / jaw.

(At this stage I didn't see mush value in doing the backveiw, I will revisit it when more anatomical landmarks specific to the back like the shoulderblades are introduced)

I'm looking forward to getting a best grasp on gesture. It feels like something that once better understood can become a really fun and rewarding part of ones drawing journey.

Here is my proportion chart! Need to go over this a few more times and really get familiar with where everything really “should” go! I want to be able to make this chart without watching the video. 🙏

I took notes initially while also copying the diagram in the video. Then to solidify these proportions better I drew them again on another page without the help of the video, my notes, or the copied diagram

I did the assignment freehand while watching the previous video. For the assignment I went ahead and redid it using a ruler/straight edge to get some tighter proportions.
