Stonehouse's Anatomy

This anatomy book is Seok Jung Hyun’s brainchild of nine years, for which he drew nearly 1,500 illustrations. This is the English translation of his book that was published in Korea in 2017.  

This book started with the author’s personal notebook which contained the artistic anatomy knowledge that he accrued over a long period of time as a professional illustrator.  Seok, whose expertise is in drawing the human body, has studied anatomy for his own works and has gained unusual insight through exchanges with experts in various fields. 

The author’s childhood curiosity regarding a dog’s hind legs eventually led to meetings with medical professors and bodybuilders, which broadened his understanding of anatomy.  So while this book offers artistic anatomy for artists, Seok reveals at the beginning of the book that he hopes that it will become a guide to understanding and loving the self and others.  To aid the reader in understanding the different human body parts, Seok includes explanations and interesting facts from a biological perspective.
