Anatomy / Human height ratios

[RGBVideo]

Suppose I have a photo with human head and upper arms pictured. Is there a way to calculate the approximate total height of the man in question?

[Krill]

Not accurately, I think, because upper arms are not indicative of the size of the person.

****.

what body parts (=bone lengths) are? feet? any others?

[Krill]

Er, none? You do understand the ideas of a stocky man and the women with legs up to yaya, right?

[Garth Vader]

Even if they were indicative , you'd need to be able to determine the length of the head/arms from the picture you do have.

I'm assuming, seeing as you're from Europe, you're trying to find out how tall a random man you met on the internet is, which in turn will tell you his penis length?

[Deity Dude]

You sound experienced with this technique.

I am.

Upon glancing at headshots, I'm fairly accurate at estimating the vital stats:
- Height
- gay or straight
-- if straight, how many beers will he cost?
- top/bottom
- cut/uncut
- penis length

These were taught in Homosexuality 101 back in my bootcamp.

Take a look at my avatar, what can you tell me about this guy apart from the fact that he's pooping his pants out of fear?

He's too ugly, the force is too strong.

According to this site Total Height = 1.023*Wingspan

You'd still need a ruler or something, a picture wouldn't be enough.

In drawing, the general rule is people are 8 heads high. So if you divided a line by 8, the top section is the head, next section stops at the nipples, next stops at the belly button, next at the groin, next two at the knee, and then final two shins and feet.

This was helpful, too.

I have a pretty cool picture of a "Hypatia" drawing showing anatomical proportions. But it's a feminine nude, so I probably can't post it here.
