Gil Kane, the artist and co-creator of DC Comics' The Green Lantern and The Atom who also went on to illustrate Conan the Barbarian and John Carter of Mars, drew human anatomy flawlessly.

Great idea. I could use some work on this as well. I actually find females the most difficult for me to draw so I'm going to do a series of studies on female faces, hands, etc.
