Proportions of the Human Figure ■ Previous two editions have sold over 80,000 copies combined (no sales available or editions prior to 2001) and received excellent reviews rom the art community

All measurements of the human gure are divisions of the body into parts of given measurements. There are many conceptions of measuring, scienti c and ideal, and they all differ. If given proportions were used, even though these proportions were the ideal aver- age, they would result in a drawing without character. Again, to apply these so-called canons of art, the gure must be on the eye-level, upright and rigid. The least bending of the head or body would change the given proportions visually, though not actually. From an anatomical point of view, taking the skull as a unit, horizontally, the bone of the upper arm, the humerus, is about one and one- half heads in length. The bone on the thumb side of the forearm, the radius, is about one head in length. The fore- arm bone, the ulna, or the little nger side, measures about one foot from elbow to wrist. The thigh bone, or femur, measures about two heads, and the leg bone, or tibia, nearly one and one-half heads. The illustrations show three different methods of measurement; one by Dr. Paul Richer, one by Dr. William Rimmer and one by Michelangelo.
