I'm sure my advice will be nothing you haven't heard before, seeing as i'm not the most premier of any artists here, but i think i've got a good grasp of anatomy. First off, look at your own body. When you're bored in class or whatever, just take a look at your arm and start sketching. I learned hands that way. Same with faces. Look at other people. You'll notice a lot of similarities. You can leanr a lot just by looking around. Also, look at skeletons. You'll learn where bones are, and how things fit. A few anatomy tips i can remember:

-When drawing people, the hands always end slightly below the crotch.
-The centers of the eyes line up perfectly with the tops of the ears.
-Forearm muscles are rarely visible.
- Don't forget the small of the back. Backs are curvy, make sure you draw them this way
-People are about 6-7 heads tall.
-When sketching poses or such, the shoulders and hips are rarely parallel, if ever at all.

That's all i can really remember right now, i hope it helps.
