You're a brilliant artist. I just hope you use the proper proportions.
Of course, everyone's body has different proportions...
Buy a book called "Dynamic Anatomy"
Officially THIS is the right proportions. The entire human body, on average, consists of head lengths (using the head as a measuring device).
Much like the human head is split up into small measured sections when drawing (for example. The top of the ear typically lines up with the eyebrow and the bottom of the ear usually lines up with the bottom of the nose) the human body is split up into sections.
The torso is three head lengs long. It's two head lengs wide (from one tip of the shoulder to the other).
The arms are three head lengs as well. The hand CAN be a head length... but most people don't have their hands enditely extended.
So the hands should extend just below the groin section of a person standing much like one would in the picture posted above.
The legs are four heads long Two heads long to reach the knee, then two more to reach the ancle.
The Ancle is about half a head long.
Yes, everyone is different, but if you make the torso and the legs always look lie half-and-half... you're not following that principle either.
I've come to the point to which I don't bother measuring because I get it close enough. When I first started drawing, however, I continually followed the proper measuremets like dogma.
Today, I put variation in proportions because I don't really need to measure the character.
(Note, all the pictures in my profile were made when I was probably about 18. I'm now 24)
Its very nice, there is defineltey a couple things I could learn from studying this drawing you've made.
