Human proportion

Human proportion refers to the typical ratios and relationships between different parts of the body, which help create the appearance of balance and harmony. Artists and anatomists study these proportions to understand how body parts relate in size and placement, such as the head being roughly one-quarter of the total height or the length of the arm reaching mid-thigh. While individual variation exists, these proportions serve as a guideline for realistic depictions and understanding human anatomy, emphasizing the underlying symmetry and structure that contribute to our overall appearance.
