Art Tip: Proportion Basics (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

Here's a follow-up art tip on last week's tip about character height. I use these proportion guides for most characters but I have Poste as an example. The 7-head proportion guide is something commonly used by artists. I remember learning this from a book about drawing fantasy characters back in high school. I think it's a good way to start learning but it's okay to break the "rules" when designing characters. I can save it for a future art tip, but when I draw Ivy I'll sometimes draw her legs just a little bit longer to make her taller and more leggy for full body shots.

Hope that helps!
