OT/General Human Proportion Calculator

How would you use it to make a BJD?

Thank you its helpful too get the right proportions ^-^

 

One obvious way is to use it to draw a blueprint. Looks like a great tool, especially for those of us who are just starting out and who struggle with keeping everything in proportion.

 

I use a different system, where I divide the total body height by 11.5 and get the 5-eye-length distance (width of the skull). And use the 5-eye-length line to get some bony feature landmarks. The advantage of this is that it is independent of head-height.

There's another system, the proportional system, where you basically treat the head-to-pubic-bone distance and the thigh-joint-to-feet distance separately (overlapped at the hip), useful for when you want to draw longer-torso or longer-legged figures, for example if you need to differentiate men and women bodies.

Found an example! That link illustrates 8-heads vs the 11.5 divisions. The 11.5 divisions is just a special case of the proportional system, where the top and bottom sections are equally tall.
