Using the head height as a measurement the figure height is about 6.5 - 8 heads total. Various markers on the body fall along this interval. From the top of the figure, the line of the nipples falls at the bottom of the second head interval, the belly button is roughly at the bottom of the third interval, the base of the pubic area falls at the bottom of the fourth interval, and the line of the knees lays roughly in the middle of the sixth interval. Remember, these are guidelines, they are only viable when the figure is seen at eye level and standing straight up (no bends or twists). The process of using an interior measure to find proportion in the figure is what is most important.
A description of the horizontal axis will provide a closer representation of the pose, distribution of weight etc. Notice how the adjustment of the weight causes these Axi to no longer be parallel.
