Question

The correct proportion of the human figure is: 

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

Artists typically use the “8-head rule” to maintain consistent human proportions in sketches and illustrations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding ideal human proportions.
In classical figure drawing, an adult human body is typically around 7.5 to 8 heads tall, with balanced limb length, torso height, and shoulder width. Correct proportion means the body should neither look too elongated nor too compressed.

Step 2: Evaluating the options.
- (A) A: This figure appears slightly shorter and less balanced; the legs are comparatively shorter.
- (B) B: This figure best represents the ideal 7.5–8 heads proportion — long legs, balanced torso, and correct shoulder width.
- (C) C: The figure is too short, making the head look disproportionately large.
- (D) D: Shoulders and legs appear compressed, not matching natural human proportions.

Step 3: Conclusion.
Option B matches the standard human proportion most accurately.
