Speaking of height ratios, I sampled a group of 10 FBBs for their part length proportions.  Below is a text table of the average percentages for each part relative to the total body height.

Average
Head2Collar   18.1%
Collar2Pevis   35.9%
Pelvis2Heel   46.0%
Pelvis2Knee   19.8%
Knee2Heel   26.2%
Head2Pelv   54.0%
Shldr2Elbow   17.5%
Elbow2Wrist   15.8%
Wrist2Ftip   9.0%


Here's the complete chart in image form:

hi !
assuming  the ratio between a and b is often similar and in that way the round of the form is a factor of a dimension ( square : 4.a    - circle : 3.14.a ) ...

 ... you can say for the bicep form , the round is 2.6 x a, then apply the ratio.

Wow, more excellent info. Thanks MuskelGrothe.

Just wondering what you mean by Head, Collar, and Pelvis. Is Head the top of the head or bottom of the head? The same applies for Pelvis and Knee. Also, is Collar the clavicle or manubrium (yes, I have a book on anatomy in front of me).

Also, I was wondering if I could trouble you for the average head size as a percentage relative to the total body height. That way I can convert your percentages to number of heads, which I find easier to work with.

Thanks again for all the work you've done on this.

I'm not very good with anatomical terms, but I'll try to explain the points I was using:
"Head" = crown (highest point standing up)
"Collar" = clavicle (collar bone), at the center groove/hole.  (Below the adam's apple)
"Pelvis" = lowest point of pelvis/crotch/butt standing up.  The bottom of the "V".
"Knee' = center of knee cap.
"Heel" = base where one would stand.
"Elbow" = middle of the elbow, at the tip of the bone
"Wrist" = anywhere along the wristline, but usually the side with the shortest distance from the elbow point on the pic.
"Ftip" = tip of middle finger (usually projected, as most poses aren't open-handed.)

Thanks very much for clarifying.

The bottom of the head to base of the collar is usually quoted as being roughly a third of a head. So according to your measurements, a head should be about 13.5% relative to the height of the body, on average. Does this agree with your measurements?

And in case you were interested, that central hole at the base of the neck is the manubrium.

Point of interest, actually- the bone underlying that hole is the manubrium.  That hole is the suprasternal notch, which I've incorrectly called the subclavicle notch ever since being introduced to it as a control point in martial arts training.

Interesting uses of trig... I knew there was a reason to study it in high school. Cheesy

That's about 1/7, which I've gathered is the head/height ratio for most humans.  It does seem this would be higher for shorter people, as heads generally don't change sizes that much between tall and short adults.

I'm a math midget.  I'm not entirely certain I understand exactly how your ratios work.  Is there a chance you could give it to me in other words?
