What are your ideal human proportions, /ic/? or rather, which do you aim to when drawing the female figure?
>>
Usually try to aim for the right but give up and do the left because it’s easier. Also big boobs are hot.

12 heads, but fatter, with hair going to her knees at least and the arms need to be like twice as long as in picrel or alternatively just four arms of the regular length.

Legs at exactly half the height. Realistically legs are shorter than half. When legs go longer than half, it just feels like they don't know anything about anatomy, or reduces her to a pocket pussy with mile long legs attached.
>>
Before anyone points at >>7741040, unless the doorways are literally slanted in real life, the distance between the bottom of the walls is greater than the top, so it seems like the camera is closer to the legs, thus her legs are probably at most exactly half the height, no more, at which point is already unicorn tier, which further evidences the nonsensicality of legs longer than half height. Want it longer? Draw goddamned high heels, making legs literally longer is skill issue.

Every single character in Hypnosis Mic has such ridiculously long legs in the official art, it just looks silly to me. At least they toned it down for the anime.
Funny that one character is wearing high heels in addition to that

I have yet to see any show dethrone CLAMP anime like xxxHolic when it comes to too long legs though

Even if you perspective correct it, her legs are still really damn long.

I like long legs but not too long
I find long legs more arousing than tits or ass
>>

>>7742520
Drawing guides rely on idealised forms, personally my hips are wider (I'm probably just fat) but I know women that are the opposite; dress to adjust or accentuate shape, it's not uncommon to feel uglier when naked
>>
>>7742510
>>7742579
Isn't it just inconvenient to try to fit overly long legs into frames? If the head is too small, you may lose out on detailed expressions or have to zoom in all the time...
That's why I prefer a smaller head count for comics (6 or 7.5 at the tallest) and 5 heads or less for animation.

For western, top of the head to pit of clavicle to bottom of the ribcage to bottom of crotch are equal
For eastern, pit of clavicle to top of head is 1.5 units, or just measure from top of ASIS to pit of clavicle and double that
picrel are some takako studies
Legs are equal to top of the head to crotch

how the fuck are you supposed to draw if you can't even trust cameras or your eyes?
>>
>>7742800
For starters, you can eyeball half. It gets obvious when you push past half in everything.
For 7 heads height, half is 3.5 heads, and 4 heads for 8 heads, etc.

Anon... he's drawing the line down to her heels and she's wearing high heels. If she were to stand flat on the floor her midpoint would be at about her crotch. High heels exist BECAUSE they make womens' legs look longer.
>>
>>7743259
I thought they were used to make their ass stick out.
>>
>>7743259
Yes, and most people's legs are shorter than half their body... so her legs are long.
>>
>>7743265
High heels were invented for horseback riding, worn by equestrians and men of nobility to show off their high status. That's why high heels exist.
And wow, did you know that things can be used for more than one thing? Who'd have thought?
Dumbass.

Legs are objectively the sexiest when they're average length. Legs too long are just as bad as too short.
>>
>>7745983
MUH ANATOMY REEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>
>>7746280
They’re not as bad at all, and especially not as bad as legs that are too short. A lot of artists over extend the leg length because it’s more realistic to have legs that are too long than short and stubby
>>
i will change proportions depending on the character

both of your girls have narrow hips, small chests, and skinny thighs. this is the ideal female form in my eyes. not to say that yours is wrong, but i sincerely doubt that either of your references scream "fertility" from an objective standpoint, which is usually the basis of male heterosexual attraction.
>>

5.5 heads. No questions.

I like thin women with long legs and a more "fit" body type rather than super thickeness... but most people I talk about art seem to prefer extra huge boob and ass so maybe I have particular taste

marry a big muscled, tall, strong jawed woman to make your sons gigachads who get even more women

I hate loomis so much. The woman's legs are so fucking short and the chest is so wide, it's just unappealing. Women proportioned like left exist anyway so why is it considered unrealistic??
>>
>>7756376
realism be damned

looking appealing is a better goal

You're just talking to too many coomers

It's what was considered the standard that would have gotten you illustration work back in the day. He even says so in the book.
>>
>>7756498
but I'm a coomer towards thin fit girls so I don't know what to say, wish I could meet more people that are into those kinds of body types....
>>
>>7739876
The "ideal" on the right is the athletic ideal adult female. This would be comparable to Ghislaine from jobless reincarnation.
Most anime girls are that, girls, not women.
They're 6 1/2 heads tall cause that's normal for 15 year old girls.
>>
Anyone got the reference image of two different females but one with a shorter torso than the normal torso female? I can't remember if they were both asian or one was white, saw it here some time last year I think.
>>
>>7759604
But anime girls have no age according to the people ive talked
>>
>>7741040
Those authentic anime tutorials from Japan keep saying you need long legs for balance.
It's probably the reason why figures and gunplas have such long legs too.

They just look so weird to me.

She just had to contort her body and stretch her ribcage a bit to swim underneath that handle on the trunk.
