I decided to make a template for easier spriting. So with this you should be able to align your stuff properly and make sure you don't go too far.
Simply import it as a new layer and set it to like 25% opacity if your program supports it.
thanks zodiac!
an important note:
typically most humans have the exact same eye level except for the 10yo boy and girl who are 3 pixels lower.
this is good. thanks for the note on the eyes; i knew everyone's eyes were at the same level (i noticed it whilst using the japanese guy's unit.bit editor), but i didn't know that the 10yr olds were 3 pixels lower...
Very nice! ^_^
This is useful, can't believe I didn't comment on this earlier...
