Last time, we introduced the concept of “head-to-body” ratio, and talked about how important it is when deciding a character’s height in anime. Today we’re going to be taking a closer look at the leg proportions, and how to use them correctly when changing a character’s height. We’ll also be looking at how anime proportions compare to real life proportions, and how to estimate the “real” height of your character in cm.

We’ll be using Japanese women’s average height as a guide – the average high school girl is 157cm tall, and the average woman in her 20’s is around 159cm tall in Japan. Let’s get into this in a bit more detail below!
