Does anyone know the percentage of head, torso, legs & arms to total body height?

Question

Like for instance: head shud be X% of total body height

Answer 1

Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man illustrates the ratio of body parts. Here you go and I hope it helps. You just need to take the proportions to the appropriate scale.

a palm is the width of four fingers
a foot is the width of four palms
a cubit is the width of six palms
a man's height is four cubits (and thus 24 palms)
a pace is four cubits
the length of a man's outspread arms is equal to his height
the distance from the hairline to the bottom of the chin is one-tenth of a man's height
the distance from the top of the head to the bottom of the chin is one-eighth of a man's height
the maximum width of the shoulders is a quarter of a man's height
the distance from the elbow to the tip of the hand is one-fifth of a man's height
the distance from the elbow to the armpit is one-eighth of a man's height
the length of the hand is one-tenth of a man's height
the distance from the bottom of the chin to the nose is one-third of the length of the head
the distance from the hairline to the eyebrows is one-third of the length of the face
the length of the ear is one-third of the length of the face
Leonardo is clearly illustrating Vitruvius De Architectura 3.1.3 which reads:

The navel is naturally placed in the centre of the human body, and, if in a man lying with his face upward, and his hands and feet extended, from his navel as the centre, a circle be described, it will touch his fingers and toes. It is not alone by a circle, that the human body is thus circumscribed, as may be seen by placing it within a square. For measuring from the feet to the crown of the head, and then across the arms fully extended, we find the latter measure equal to the former; so that lines at right angles to each other, enclosing the figure, will form a square.

Answer 2

You will have to do the math yourself but medics assess the area of skin burns by the rule of nines -
Head 9%
Front of torso 18% back also
Each leg 18%
Each arm 9% The palm of one hand=1%

Answer 3

If you want to use it to draw, absolute numbers are easier.
The head goes 7 and a half times in the body.
The hand is as large as the face.
Underarm is as large as the foot.
Ears go in between mouth and nose.
There are more, but I can't remember all of them.

Answer 4

Because the sex drive is so strong and it tempts everyone no matter who you are. I think it is the best thing in the world. If you have sex it relieves stress, and releases endorphines not to mention it is the best feeling in the world-well if its done right. people just have a problem with casual sex because they feel the bible says you should only have sex when, and with the person you marry. I love it more than anything myself and not because I enjoy it so much. I love making the one I am with have feelings and experience the best pleasure they have ever had.
