I'm trying to sketch some people right now, fullbody and all. Which is a problem because I hate legs. It's all right as a way of transportation (though very inefficient). But more importantly, drawing them is a royal pain!

Trying to look for a body references only makes things worse. Often it looks like legs take up 60% or more of the body height, or more. But why? Isn't the belly button supposed to be the middle point of the body? Was my highscool art teacher mistaken?

Worse yet, there are like, nearly double the amount of legs in the world compared to people. Ugh, so much damn legs!

I'm starting to feel like this photoshop is not even exaggerating anymore.

Edit: I measured in live the nearest available specimen. The midpoint is at the loin area O_o How!?
