I felt overwhelmed with the vast amount of information so I turned to my bookshelf.   Although the Internet is a very useful tool I do love to hold a book in my hand. The Figure Drawing Workbook and Figure Drawing and Anatomy for the Artist both by John Raynes are very useful reference books. They give examples of all aspects of figure drawing and a range of media. A better book which I own is The Complete Fundamentals of Drawing by Barrington Barber. This is a book of the basics to more detailed and useful sketching. This inspired me to draw the following of my own examples of anatomy of the human body:
