how big do you make the heads? An inch?

See I like this explanation, as before It often looked like most character had the same head size and just had different Head height counts.
This makes things much easier especially when trying to draw a character with a body type without making things look awkward.

Humans are 7,5 heads tall. I measured myself, and I'm not even tall.

I usually just go with the head that would fit the character. Ive been all over, and i can honestly say heads and body types tend to be all over the place. For me its even harder when comes to women with long hair. But thats a personal habit

I know this is old, lol, but: I've found female heads tend to be shorter than male heads, thus why there are fewer heads in a shorter female, and that's probably true of any short person. Not necessarily, haven't studied it lol.

Ah, I super wasn't clear about it in this, but this is more so that you can map out how large each piece of the body should be in relation to the others! So yeah, you could pick a size head that you think is good, and then once you sort out how big that guy's head is in relationship to the body, then if you have to draw him crouching or something, you always have that reference, that stays internally consistent! Mostly I tend to only really need it when I have to draw figures jumbled up together, or curled up, but it's interesting to keep in mind for character design like you mentioned - it can say a lot about someone!

This is probably one of my favorite things ever.
