Default Body Proportions

Are making my head spin
Basically a human form is 8 heads high, everything seems to reference this, which I guess is fine if you are drawing and have an eraser!
But to break it out into a method for glass.
At Glass Stock in Eric Edner's class he started with the butt, builds part of the torso, builds the legs, goes back to the torso, then arms, head.

So from what I can see if you start with the Butt/hips they should be twice the width of the body/torso and 1/3rd the total height to the shoulders, the shoulders should be 1 1/2 the butt width for a female 2 for a male, the thighs to the knee are 2/3 the upper torso or 2 butts long and same for the knee to ankle.

For us sculpting impaired I hope this helps some

David I think you posted this just so you could include a picture of a naked lady... you don't fool me with your technical curiosity front!

I know for sure my goddesses don't have shoulders 2 1/2 times the size of their butts... What can I say? I like big butts and I cannot lie...

Because real women wear high heels. When naked, especially.

Oh good. thanks. I needed a sketch of the female body, front and back so I could mark all the spots where I have to have the dermatologist do his freeze thing to remove potential cancers. Just the ticket. Now I don't have to google. LOL
