How tall do you draw people?
The standard proportions when drawing the adult human figure is seven (7) heads high. The height of the head from chin to crown is one seventh of the height of a normal adult human. This is a generalization, but works well as a baseline. Just for a bit more proportional information, the distance from tip of longest finger to the tip of the longest finger of the other hand (when stretched out horizontally at shoulder height is the same as the height of the figure (7 heads). When drawing children the proportions are much different. Also remember, it is the setting you put your figures into that determine the perceived height of the figure. If you place your figure next to a tree and they are near the same height, you person appears very tall... If you place your figure next to a tulip and they are near the same height, the figure appears very small.
Why is the Vitruvian man so important?
The Vitruvian Man is a world-renowned drawing created by Leonardo da Vinci around the year 1487.[1] It is accompanied by notes based on the work of the famed architect, Vitruvius. The drawing, which is in pen and ink on paper, depicts a male figure in two superimposed positions with his arms and legs apart and simultaneously inscribed in a circle and square. The drawing and text are sometimes called the Canon of Proportions or, less often, Proportions of Man. It is stored in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy, and, like most works on paper, is displayed only occasionally.[2][3]The drawing is based on the correlations of ideal human proportions with geometry described[4] by the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius in Book III of his treatise De Architectura. Vitruvius described the human figure as being the principal source of proportion among the Classical orders of architecture. Other artists had attempted to depict this concept, with less success[citation needed]. Leonardo's drawing is traditionally named in honor of the architect.source:Click link below!
