Human body proportions are very interesting to draw because bodies all differ in their height, widths, and ape-indexes. This means that there is a general rule of thumb, however, this rule can be altered to suit different human figures. Capturing the human figure in its correct human body proportions is quite an easy task. This is a great skill to learn because once you understand how to capture the human body proportions you can tweak and adjust the variables to create all types of body shapes. However, in this tutorial, we will be drawing the body proportions of a male and female. Understanding how to create a female and male body drawing that is comparable to one another is a helpful exercise that teaches you how to gauge height and width in their generalized structures for both the male and female body. Again, body types differ in various ways, however, understanding the general process of forming the male and female body can be tweaked and changed in various ways to create different body variations for both the male and female structures.
