Analyze the important muscles needed to create convincing figures and learn about surface anatomy such as the fat distribution and the fasciae that surrounds every inch of the living form.  Well thought out and easily understood assignments enable the student to better understand the living form of the model and more easily create form from the imagination.  Most importantly, the student will gain the confidence to edit the living model and therefore interpret more poetically what he/she sees to make their drawing or painting more personal.
