Anatomy Studies Volume 1

Anatomy Studies Volume 1 brings together Glauco Longhi’s personal anatomy study notes in an 80-page digital PDF. This digital download provides instant access to the artist’s first round of anatomy studies, created early in 2019.

Longhi approaches anatomy as a visual tool. Rather than focusing on medical terms, he studies the form, shape, and silhouette of bones and muscles. This makes the book useful for anyone sculpting, drawing, or designing characters.

Book Overview

Anatomy Studies Volume 1 is a personal study book by digital artist Glauco Longhi. The opening sections examine the neck and shoulder girdle, breaking down key structures such as the sternocleidomastoid, clavicle, scapula, and surrounding tissues.

Longhi created these studies over three months, working at night after his regular day. He used anatomy books, videos, and live model photos as references, but sculpted every study from scratch. His process emphasizes drawing or sculpting while learning, so the information becomes second nature.

What You’ll Discover Inside

• Personal anatomy studies built from scratch without relying on external 3D resources.
• A simplified look at the neck, including the sternocleidomastoid, thyroid cartilage, hyoid bone, and related forms.
• An analysis of the shoulder girdle and how the clavicle, scapula, and humerus connect.
• Notes on bone landmarks, tendons, muscles, shapes, silhouette, and motion.
• Practical advice on using anatomy as one tool among many, alongside composition, line of action, and negative space.
• Context on the old masters and their tradition of studying the body through dissection and drawing.

Why This Book Matters

Understanding anatomy is essential for artists who want to draw or sculpt the human figure with confidence. Longhi’s book matters because it treats anatomy as a design subject, not just a list of names. It encourages readers to build a solid foundation before moving to complex forms and to keep practicing while studying.

The studies also show a personal, honest learning process. Longhi does not present himself as an anatomy expert. Instead, he shares what he discovered, making the material approachable for artists at different levels.
