Practical IV

Character proportions of the body are important, but equally so are the facial proportions.


Realistically we all have similar proportions on where everything is on our faces, and if we were to retain realism there would be little to deviate from this. It could be changed in the interest of stylization but even then, one runs the risk of it losing it's realism.


It is still very much recognizable as a face, but the change in proportions has it's consequences. If one wanted to be as realistic as possible in their characters they would have to keep the level of stylization to a minimum.

The effect of the above kind of stylization on a real life person is demonstrated quite well in this photograph by Chris Scarborough.
