EIGHT HEAD THEORY FOR MEASUREMENT
Artists have divided a grown up human body into eight equal parts, which are equal in
height to that of the head. So each part is known as the ‘head’. All these eight divisions or
heads are as follows:
1st head = from hair to chin or nape of neck.
2nd head = from nape of neck to nipple or bottom of scye.
3rd head = from bottom of scye to naval or hollow of waist.
4th head = from naval to fork or pubic organs.
5th head = from fork to mid thigh or end of fingers, with arm at side.
6th head = from mid-thigh to small, below knee.
7th head = from small to lower leg, just above the ankle.
8th head = from lower leg to ball of foot, standing tip-toe.
Note: Actually the total human height is computed at7 1/2 heads, but for easy calculations,
the height is taken from hair to the foot, standing tip-toe, thus making eight equal parts.
