What's your favorite approach to the proportions of the figure?

upper leg part (femur) looks too long in relation to the rest of the body. Femur length is more or less equal to the distance between nipples and the top of the head, see my pic for more info. Collar bone looks like shirt v-neck. it seems that you don't know anatomy and just try to guess where the bones are

I do and my method gets the same result as Richer.
The rest seem to be with Loomis' badly taught anatomy.

I go outside and the only "longer" male torsos are the ones wearing jeans that mask where their body ends unless you mean under half a head's difference, then I'd need permission or chloroform to use a tape measure.
Yeah I feel you on the one kind of body type thing, but because I like stylised characters that are born from looking at looming lanky twigs and portly muscled bouncers rather than realistic depictions.

The shoulder girdle is one cranium size below the actual cranium.
Reference Robert Hale's system, not Loomis.

Loomis teaches you proportions. Just pull up a graph, he even tries to teach you a few things about figures in perspective. Literally read a book

>a general, good rule of thumb is that arms should be as long as the legs
That's not really a good rule of thumb in my opinion, because overly short arms or legs stick out like a sore thumb and it's better to make them slightly too long than too short.

On an average person, legs (if we consider a "leg" as the distance from the tip of the femur to the sole of the feet) are about 1.5 times the length of the arm the distance from the shoulder to the knuckles. In the figurine >>3964904 is referencing, her legs are slightly longer (1.6~1.7 the length of the arms).

Stop using Loomis heads to divide the human figure and use Hale's cranium based proportions instead. If you look at your pic that's exactly what Loomis does plus he confuses you with his irrelevant heads.

Also, about the thirds: just eyeball it. Nobody will take out a ruler. Real people also don't have those clearcut proportions

Who has a trustworthy diagram of the 8 head model by loomis, I am more interested the skeletal structure, since all of the diagrams i find do not show an acurrate placement of the pelvis or ribcage.

I find this chart a little better in terms of proportion.

Try some basic perspective. Study it to the point where you can get a simplistic mannequin in 2-point perspective and copy a simple geometric figure, like a cube, proportionally in a given scene. Also consider studying anatomy after that, even vague understanding of what attaches to what helps. Proportions - pic related. How to measure things - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzDGO0LssEM

Yes and no. You grind to understand, not grind for the sake of grind. How much grinding till you get whatever you are studying depends on you and possibly the material you are studying.

Don't forget to hang that replay on the wall and remember what a good time that was.

Try using cranial units.

1. If you intend to finish it, do a few thumbnails of the background, without the figure. If it looks bad without the figure, it will look bad afterwards as well.
2. Try working in b&w and cover a full scale from pure black to almost white - to improve your values. Still life drawing is good for this.
3. Your anatomy is pretty advanced, but your proportions aren't. Try counting heads, it will tell you how off you are.
Overall, very well executed. Definitely gonna make it.

Needs a clavicle, longer legs, Also keep in mind the chesticles begin a bit (around a hand's width iirc) under the clavicle and bottom-out a little over one head's length beneath the...head. KEEP WORKIN FAM NIGGY DAWG WE'S ALL GONNA MAKE THIS SHIT YOU FEELS ME

>>2113674
Use Cranial units. Masses separate more evenly and more definitively. Once you can understand the proportions of the torso, you can understand the rest of the body in relation to it.

>not using cranium method
