ABOUT THIS LESSON

It's one thing to learn about the proportions of the human body, but how do you actually apply them to figures in different poses, that are presented in varying perspectives?

In this drawing lesson you'll learn a practical way to measure out the proportions of your characters as you draw!

This simple head unit counting method will help you to remain conscious of their proportions, and give you a better chance of ensuring accurate size relationships between each body part - no matter the pose or camera angle.
