Eye level

The horizon is not where the sky starts. It is the height of your eyes, and it still exists when you are indoors.

1
Look straight ahead
Not up at the ceiling and not down at the floor. Where that level gaze hits the far wall is your horizon.
2
A person your height
Their eyes sit on your horizon, whether they stand across the room or beside you. Their head rises a little above the line. Their feet do not.
3
Tops and undersides
Below the horizon you see top surfaces. Above it you see undersides. A table shows its top. A beam overhead shows its soffit.

Critique

The line crosses the standing figure at the eyes, not the crown
The line is level
You can say what you would see the top of, and what you would see from below

Drill

Too high. You would be looking over that person's head.
