The Head Length

A simple rule of head anatomy that is crucial to remember is this: the distance between the base of the chin and the bottom of the eyes is exactly the same as between the bottom of the eyes and the tip of the head! so idealy the head can be divided exactly in half at the base of the eyes!

So the first thing i did was looked up a bunch of faces to see whether this was right! and sure enough it's true! even faces that look like they wouldn't adhere to this rule! then i looked at some digital art styles i really admire and they all seemed to follow this rule too, so maybe this is something worth remembering?

Finally i thought, this cann't be the case always! and checked some anime pics! well sure enough i was right! not every head divided into 2 but they were pretty darn close, even in an anime style!

Something so basic but remembering this rule will improve the anatomy of your heads!
