Description
Download for full view.Our character design professor Ray Goto taught us this method so I thought it'd only be fair to pass it along. It makes life easier, doesn't it? LoL It was an eye opener. But again, this doesn't work with foreshortening, and in my opinion most poses are pretty stiff without foreshortening, however this'll definitely give you a step in the right direction! Thanks!
Please comment if you fave, so I know if this tutorial is usefull or not. I'm usually not a stickler about comment-fave ratio, except when it comes to my tuts. That way I know what to do for the next one! Thanks!

I like how this tutorial is easy-reading and simple. There are way too many out there where they are useless because they're too wordy to understand.

Do you do this everytime you draw??
It's very useful thank you. ^o^ I'll be sure to use it!

Thanks very much! You'll find that just understanding the concept will help you eyeball proportions better. I generally never use this method, however it does help conceptually. I generally foreshorten all my arms in some form or another, in which this method doesn't work at all XD
