Your Character's Head-to-Body Ratio (Body Proportion)

[allenT]

Why didn't i thought about this topic soon!
Show pictures of your characters & write your character's head-to-body ratio. (graph is optional)

Not counting very short/ tall characters, my characters have an average of 5~6.5 Head-to-Body Ratio.

post your links if you want to.

Oh, this is always really fun!

Dot is 3.5 heads tall, and about 2.75 as a child. Adults are anywhere 3-5.5 heads tall. I went with a super stylized proportions 'cause... they're kinda fun to draw.

My "regular" people are 7-8 heads tall:

I don't have a chart - heck, I don't actually have a proper full-body piece of my protagonist yet - but just eyeballing him and the other characters I've yet to introduce, my adult humans/elves are typically about 7 heads tall.

Aliens such as Glitch here are dependent on species. She's about four heads tall, and stands around hip-height to the others when she's not floating around like a goofball.

Looks like I'm in the 130-150 range! gotta have room for those big ole' facial features!

[DasIstWunderblyat]

No head

I think it is on 160–170 range or 6–7 heads depending on the character in my normal style. I rarely draw full body

[Pony_wearing_a_hat]

Aw, hell yeah! That is awesome!

[Kelheor]

Never really paid attention
Apparently, they are usually 6.5 heads tall

It doesn't relate to the heights listed in the first image by OP (honestly, I just find that image confusing, it's not like it works this way for real life either), but my characters (all humanoids) tend to be 5-6.5 heads tall, depending on their heights.

5 heads in my style would be around 130-135 cm, I guess? And 6.5 would be 185 cm or so.
When I've learned realistic proportions, for a while I was trying to apply them in my art, but over time I've come to prefer drawing more stylized head-to-body ratios. Making the head bigger allows for more stylized face features and makes it more expressive, I guess?

[CursedBeasts]

I think mine are usually 7.5 - 8 heads tall.

[allenT]

C'mon, show your chracter pics & their head-to-body ratio

[allenT]

bump it for more head-to-body ratios

[Lady_T_Musings]

I really need to sit down and do this already for my folks. Even if not straight-up headcounts, I'd like to be able to easily reference height and not go by what does my protagonist Junah see at eye level (usually chest lol).

[Stargazer31]

Gunhild's head is actually pretty big. Ironic, since she's rather insecure.

[allenT]

bumping for more!

[FafasMcMelt]

Lol, ok

---

Calliope: 7 heads tall (unless I miscalculated)

---

Angelo: 8 heads tall

---

Brave Thunder: 8 heads tall (again, I'm no number magician)

Honestly, I thought they'd be a billion heads tall each, but I guess I'm not that bold after all

[BarBarKetrab]

Well, let's see.

Cinna is maybe.... 5 heads tall?

Pom, on the other hand, is only a meagre 3.5 heads tall.

[Yulek]

"head into height" really doesn't work like that... but are rather just a tool for proportions for that one specific character.

across characters it falls apart since the "head sizes" are different.

anyways.
on the right is my more realstic persona, so I gave them my irl height... which is actually cool, since I could do Some Math

turns out my persona that I use for more lighthearted stuff and my comic.... is Tiny.
And they are also very head-pattable ... I say in my very biased opinion

[adderfly]

I just really love your art style, that's all I have to say.

[Kaydreamer]

Thank you!

[noenoh]

for the guys I use a 8 heads proportion and for Miriam is 5.5 heads. i try to vary the proportions for other characters even if seconddary ones (like the parents are 7 heads and the kids Nina and Markus are 4 and 3 heads respectively)
