Though there are subtle differences between individuals, human proportions fit within a fairly standard range, though artists have historically tried to create idealized standards, which have varied considerably over different periods and regions. In modern figure drawing, the basic unit of measurement is the &#8216;head&#8217;, which is the distance from the top of the head to the chin. This unit of measurement is reasonably standard and has long been used by artists to establish the proportions of the human figure.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An average person is generally 7-and-a-half heads tall (including the head).<\/li>\n<li>An ideal figure, used when aiming for an impression of nobility or grace, is drawn at 8 heads tall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.05em\"><br
