Drawing Body Proportions

Because I didn't actually answer anon's question last time, here are some cheat sheets on how I approach body proportions when I draw.

Typical adult body proportion is eight (8) "heads" (but I think anywhere from 7 to 8 is okay). Below chart notes where each "head" ends in terms of body part:

Another proportion method is 1/3 from top of head to natural waist (just above bellybutton), 1/3 from there to top of knees, and last 1/3 to heel of foot:

The "balls" are joints (shoulder, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles) as well as the stomach as a central "joint" for the torso:

Remember that perspective also impacts your drawing! Eg. The figure here has one foot slightly behind the other so her heels don't line up to the bottom guideline.

In my unprofessional and untrained opinion, these are not hard rules, just guidelines as you develop your own style and eye for anatomy (but it's helpful to know what the rules are before you get too cute in "breaking" them).

✨ Happy drawing! ✨

Temple of Apollo Palatinus.

The greatness of Apollo in Rome was not just about arts, but politics and military, since he was tutelary deity of Republican Court.

When, in 36 bC, Octavian August won against Sexus Pompey's troops, he thanked Apollo for his providential action and so built a temple on Palatine Hill. The choice of the place upon which was guided by a divine manifastion, e.g in the same place where a lightning fell inside an August's property on Palatine Hill.

Inside the temple (it says that it had ivory doors and magnificent bas-reliefs) there was a sculptural group, object of worship: Apollo, his sister Diana and their mother Leto.

There were kept Sibylline Books, because Apollo was also God of Divination.
