Nice construction work too on that last post!
I've never done any specific anatomy courses but I've done a lot of life drawing over the years, lots of studies and sketches from photos and real life and I've read a lot of reference books. I also spent a lot of time trying to put it all in to practice drawing (mostly terrible!) comics.
The books that helped me the most were Figure Drawing For All It's Worth by Andrew Loomis and Figure Drawing - Design and Invention by Michael Hampton. These two are good because they go really in depth in terms of how to actually draw, building up figures, draw figures in short hand etc - a lot of other artistic anatomy books lean more towards reference or example drawings, they don't really teach you. The books aren't always easy to get hold of and can be expensive when you do find them but you might be able to find PDFs online if you look around.
