“IDEAL” Proportions

Below Are Proportion Guides from the book Figure Drawing for All its Worth by Andrew Loomis, published c1920.  (A great book if you can get your hands on a copy!)  Use them to help you with your proportions.  It is recommended that you print them and stick them into your sketchbook for reference.

For some additional help here are a few Youtube videos on the subject of BASIC HUMAN PROPORTION.  If you encounter a good one, PLEASE share it with the class!
