And in between those lines we're going to draw a plumb line and this line is going to come down through the center of the body perpendicular to the floor and this is a line that helps us compare one side of the body to the other. Once we've dropped this line, we can find the line's midpoint. First, I like to sort of guesstimate it. Find here and compare it to there and that is just about the middle. So we're going to make a notch for the midpoint of the body and that tends to line up with the top of the pubic hair.
