In the notes accompanying Da Vinci's drawing he gives what can be described as the 'ideal' proportions for the human body. For eg a palm is the width of four figers and the height of a man should be 24 palms. He's obviously spent a lot of time researching this. If you're interested in art and want to create beautiful, symetric human figures then his guidelines are invaluable. Alternatively you can check out if you match the proportions laid down by him if you are curious about whether you have that irresistable 'classical sculpture' or 'Roman God'look ;)
