Anatomical Ratios

Here, we look at the anatomical ratios you’ll need to know in order to draw people accurately and

realistically—either complete figures or partial ones. Maintaining the ratios of hand to arm and

hand to face is the first step in accurately drawing the human figure.

Basic ratios

I’m using a character whose height is about seven times that of his head in order to introduce the

basics of anatomical ratios. These ratios don’t have to be followed exactly of course. Just use them as a

guide when creating various characters.

Divide the body in half (1:1) with

the crotch at the center

Chest : waist = 5:4

Thighs : calves : feet = 3:3:1

Face : chest = 4:5

Face : neck = 3:1

Head : shoulder width = 1:2
