We will work with the following proportions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>To represent the height in adults, we will <strong>take as a reference<\/strong> 7.5 or 8 heads (or what is the same, the measurement of your head multiplied by 7.5 or 8):\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The center of the body<\/strong> will always be at the level of the pubis, because the point of gravity used by the human being to maintain balance. With this, we would have a measurement of 4 heads to the pubis and another 4 from the pubis to the toes. It would look like this:\n<ul>\n<li>A head from neck to chest.<\/li>\n<li>One head from chest to waist.<\/li>\n<li>One head from waist to pubis.<\/li>\n<li>A pubic head mid-thigh.<\/li>\n<li>A head from mid-thigh to the lower knee line (where the joint ends).<\/li>\n<li>A head of the lower knee line at the end of the calf.<\/li>\n<li>A head from the termination of the calves to the toes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>The elbow will coincide with the middle of the trunk<\/strong>, and, therefore, with the waist line, so it would be two heads from the shoulders and two from the fingers of the hand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>In the case of <strong>drawing children<\/strong>, we cannot <strong>take<\/strong> 7.5 or 8 heads <strong>as a reference<\/strong> height, as this will vary according to age until reaching adult height.
