After drawing the proportion of male, we can draw the proportion of female, a female is shorter than male, and the proportion is slightly different from male.
Female's nipples, navels, and crotch are all below the scale line, other parts are on the scale line.
After we finish the female proportion, the overall body proportion of male and female is done!
Actually it’s still the same talk.
The above is just the proportion of realistic human body sorted out by the experience from many masters.
When you are creating, you still can make adjustments and settings according to our character’s personality, situation, etc.
So the proportion is not an absolute value, but to help you have a basic knowledge.
