\"\"<\/strong>In all kind of drawings, the character\u2019s head size can be used to calculate the head\/body ratio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With this technique, we can obtain the proportions of different characters<\/strong>. Let\u2019s have a look at it in details\u2026<\/p>\n

\"proportions-image\"<\/p>\n

Real proportions<\/h2>\n

A human of average height<\/strong> has a body proportions of 1:7 or 1:8<\/strong>. It means that the size of his head fits 7 or 8 times into the whole body<\/strong>. However, in manga, the body proportions are different.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chibi<\/h2>\n

First, it is well understood that in real life, it is impossible to see a such head\/body ratio<\/strong>! Indeed, this head\u2019s character can only fit 3 times<\/strong> into the body.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Child<\/h2>\n

If you want to draw a manga child<\/strong>, it must be 4 heads <\/strong>tall. It corresponds to a one-year-old baby height.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pre-teens<\/h2>\n

The different manga\u2019s characters follow a precise hierarchy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Aged from 12 to 16 years old<\/strong>, they are called pre-teens<\/strong> and have a body proportion of 1:5<\/strong>. We can notice that feminine curves appear<\/strong> on the young girls\u2019 bodies. This kind of head\/body ratio is frequent in many manga such as K-ON<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Teenager and young adult<\/h2>\n

A 6 heads height<\/strong> is required to realise a character aged between 16 and 30 years old<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For these female characters, the breast, the hips, and the legs are clearly formed.<\/p>\n

These proportions are common in mangas. Love Hina<\/strong> and Negima<\/strong> are two examples of mangas that very often use them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adult<\/h2>\n

In adulthood<\/strong>, a manga\u2019s character is as tall as a real teenager. The size of its head fits 7 times into the whole body<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beyond a height of 7 heads, a character belongs to the realistic style<\/strong>.
