Hand and arm lengths

In order to maintain anatomical proportions, the most important ratios to consider are the length of

the hands and the arms. Even if the other parts of the body are a bit off, the overall illustration will

appear to be in proportion as long as these are correct. Use these to design physiques to suit your taste.

Hand, forearm and upper arm ratios

Hand and head ratios

It’s also important to make sure the hand length and the size of the head match up. The hands should

be nearly the same size as the head from chin to hairline.

Pay particular attention to detail when drawing

figures in closeup or from the waist up, as they will

look strange if the balance between hand and face

is not correct.

Helpful Hint

Relationships between feet, face and hands

Here, we look at the relationship between the

feet and face and between the ankles and hands.

It’s not as important as that between the hands

and face, but it’s still important to know.
