RT by @nishuang: When I see AI-generated images with people, I can tell it’s AI in 99.99% of cases. Why? One big reason is the wrong body proportions — AI often makes the head too small or too big. Andrew Loomis created a systematic method for drawing proportions using head units (link to the book is in the thread). His approach has influenced generations of artists, especially those in 20th-century illustration and comics: Male Proportions – Ideal Male Figure: 8 heads tall – Divided into horizontal sections, each representing one head height – Width of the diagram is 2 1/3 heads wide Female Proportions – Slightly different from male proportions – Can range from 7.5 to 8.5 heads tall Proportion Variations – Artists and industries use different head unit standards: – 7.5 heads: Can make figures look stocky – 8 heads: Loomis’s ideal proportion – 8.5-9 heads: Used in fashion and entertainment for more graceful or heroic figures This approach can help you check if your image looks right!

Andrew Loomis created a systematic method for drawing proportions using head units (link to the book is in the thread). His approach has influenced generations of artists, especially those in 20th-century illustration and comics:

Male Proportions
– Ideal Male Figure: 8 heads tall
– Divided into horizontal sections, each representing one head height
– Width of the diagram is 2 1/3 heads wide

Female Proportions
– Slightly different from male proportions
– Can range from 7.5 to 8.5 heads tall

Proportion Variations
– Artists and industries use different head unit standards:
– 7.5 heads: Can make figures look stocky
– 8 heads: Loomis’s ideal proportion
– 8.5-9 heads: Used in fashion and entertainment for more graceful or heroic figures

This approach can help you check if your image looks right!
