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!

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.

I think I understand it. I just need to do it better/more accurately. Please point out anything I'm doing wrong.

Is the goal here to memorize the proportions? And are we meant to be able to do this from memory?

Been awhile since I did a Proko lesson. I’m a little bit confused about the size of the ribcage. I measured it out to the lengths of two heads but it seems wide to me. I’ll be going over the critique video next.

Fun assignment! I usually draw digital but thought it would be nice to do this on paper. Helped me be more patient.

Hello everyone Here's my submission... What a great instructor you are Mr Hampton... Thank you. The half's and thirds really worked for me, I tend to complicate things for myself 😅 I'm excited for the next lessons...

They say third time’s the charm. So I tried drawing four times. Proportions still a bit off especially the width

Second time through. Pelvis looks too square in profile compared with my imagined shape. Gesture of head? Somewhat out of proportion, but nice for an alien!
