Week 9 - Life drawing (proportion practice, not from life)

These are the drawings I did for proportional practice. Each character took different time, all were done with charcoal.
Most of the drawings were according to the "Idealistic" type of human body so width was slightly more than 2 head units for the males and about 2 units for the females. Shoulders start about 1/3 unit below the chin. Widest part of the body is 1 unit below the chin, that's where the shoulders have just ended and the arms start. The elbows come 1 unit lower, where the navel also is. That's also the thinnest part of the body. 1 head unit lower is where the mid-point of the body is supposed to be, the crotch reaching to about 1/3 lower than that(same with the bottom of the butt). At this point the body is almost as wide as it is on the shoulders level because of the hips, this is also where the wrists start. Top part of the legs continues until about 1 and 2/3 units lower, getting to a slightly thinner position than the waist. Then the knees start, taking around 1/3 of a unit. The legs continue by getting slightly wider around 1/2 unit lower and than getting as thin as the neck where the heels are, which is about 1/3 above the ground.
When drawing from the sides, the parts going furthest front are the chest/breasts, going slightly ahead of the face. The back of the body first bends outwards at the level of the chest, than inwards at the level of the waist, than backwards again for the but. After all, the furthest back-point is where the bottom part of the legs get wider, about 1/2 a unit below the knees. Front of the lower-legs ends up around the middle line of the character or even behind it.
In overal, the female body shows to have more fluid lines when compared to the male body. This is mostly visible in the top part of the arms, the waist and the entire legs.
