Body proportions emulated in anime come from proportions of the human
body. The height of the head is considered by the artist as the base
unit of proportion. Head heights can vary as long as the remainder of
the body remains proportional. Most anime characters are about seven to
eight heads tall, and extreme heights are set around nine heads tall.
Variations to proportion can be modified by the artist. Super-deformed
characters feature a non-proportionally small body compared to the
head. Sometimes specific body parts, like legs, are shortened or
elongated for added emphasis. Most super deformed characters are two to
four heads tall. Some anime works like Crayon Shin-Chan
completely disregard these proportions, such that they resemble Western
cartoons. For exaggeration, certain body features are increased in
proportion.Comedic effects often utilize these variations.
