I also need to learn proper anatomy and study at least a bit of how the muscles/bone structures in our bodies work together. Do you guys recommend any books about this that's easy to follow?

Figure Drawing for All its Worth by Loomis is a very well-respected book on the subject, even though it's a little old fashioned and...err... leans a teeny bit sexist here and there... It's free because it's so old and you can grab a PDF.

I've always found that there are a lot of really good tutorials on Pinterest and Tumblr too, and they're cool because you can see loads of different approaches and find what works for you. I like stuff like this one:

And the nice thing with Pinterest is you'll probably find more good ones in the "similar images" under it too.
