Week 7 - Human and Character Proportions

Human and Character Proportions

in the seventh week we learn about different proportions of the human body.
We studied both male and female bodies and determined what was different when we compared the two.

Male Body:
The Male Human body has wide shoulders, narrow waist and slim hips.
This means that the widest part of the body is the shoulders on the male human body.
The Males legs are more angular and have a lot less body fat compared to the torso area.

Female Body:
The Female human body has narrow shoulders, slim waist that goes down to wide hips. this is due to the pelvic bone being bigger to support a child.
The female figure is more rounded and the female body has a much more flexible spine.

When creating a character you need to think about the proportions of the character and how you want your character to look. If you are creating a skinny character they tend to become tall with long arms and legs however if you are creating a small chubby character you will need to make him small limbed and squished together.
For my character i use an average build with his shoulders being larger that his main torso but because he has a coat on it isn't really noticeable.
Below is a difference in character notice that the proportions of each character is different.
