Hello,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I found your blog. I am learning sculpting, and have been using your blog for reference on good anatomy books to study in order to sculpt correct proportions. I am now looking specifically for books which have some information on proportions of an infant. Would you kindly direct me to a good book on the subject? I would very much appreciate it. :)
The Art Student's Guide To The Proportions Of The Human Form has proportions from birth to adulthood. See the link above or the links on my page:

There is an example of an infant on that page.
