Thanqol Learns To Draw!

[Thanqol]

So you seem to know what you are doing with proportions. I do not understand them. I keep hearing about measuring people in head sizes, but I try to draw someone with the head-measured proportions that the book shows, and they come out taller than the Onceler. Can you help?

Okay, here's how I do it.

1) Draw a straight line
2) Divide that line in half, halfs again, halfs again so you've got 8 segments. The head is one segment and one segment only.
3) The lowest part of the torso goes right in the half way point. Legs are 50% of the height of any given person.

I did that manually a few times, but I feel like I'm getting the hang of it by now. There's some tutorial links buried in here, too, I'll dig them out later.

Did you use a reference for the anatomy? And if so, which?
