Features: This book is specifically designed for sculptors—those who are exceptionally skilled at observing and understanding three-dimensional forms. As a sculptor myself, I have always harbored a long-held wish for a reference book that explains the language of sculpture through human anatomy, rather than through sketches, paintings, or photographic anatomical illustrations. This book is the realization of that dream. The gradually evolving sculptures in this book go through several clear stages: skeleton, half-skeleton, half-muscular human figure, fully muscled anatomical dissection, female-featured dissection, and a woman with complete skin and hair. Readers can flip to any page to find any specific reference material. To make the knowledge and process of sculpting human figures as clear and easy to understand as possible, Bruno Lucchesi meticulously sculpted every bone and muscle. Of course, he does not always follow this procedure when creating sculptures himself, because meticulously crafting every detail is neither necessary nor time-efficient. However, the special approach adopted in this book can help readers progress step by step, imitate the process, and sculpt a skeleton or an anatomical figure.
