First learn general proportions, and then you work from there.

Try if you can keep proportions consistent on a box.

there is no such thing as "correct proportions" you can use any proportions you like. for example in fashion design there are used often even 10-12 heads figures. does that make it wrong if the more conventional is 8 head figure? of course not. pic related is a very different proportion system than say the vitruvian man but none of them is more correct than the other.

Yeah but this is like telling someone who's first learning their scales to go straight into jazz or something. You have to establish a core knowledge base and then span out or else you're gonna have a bad time. Art doesn't have "rules" but it does have strong averages, and you have to understand those averages and why you're breaking those rules, implicit or explicit, or else what you're making is likely going to be bad

like I'm not trying to dunk on you it's good advice but for the wrong person
