Compilation of current anatomy knowledge

I made this drawing showing my current knowledge learned from the anatomy course. I'm trying to figure out if I missed something. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you!
I like how you drew the forearms. Normally there's a lot of information there and it's easy to lose track of things and draw an anatomy chart. Yours are well designed. The right one looks broken. Be careful next time
Ok. On to the critique
Anatomy wise I'd advise you to review the obliques, the serratio (you'find it in the shoulder muscles section) the latissimus dorsi (you'll find in the lower back muscles). You draw the side of the torso all smooth and actually there's a lot of information there that you can use to enhance the believability of your drawing. So it's important knowing the muscles there and how they interacts. Remember, part of the muscles on the back are visible on the front. But don't worry. Once you know the patterns you start seeing them everywhere.
Most of your drawing needs refinements and a better sense of design. Both you'll get as long as draw more and get experience. If you have a couple of dollars to spare buy two models packs. One male and one female. Both with clear lighting (in the beginning you don't want to spend a lot of time guessing). And do a lot of lay-ins. Basically gesture drawing with a little structure and the separation of light and dark. You need to fail a lot, and fail constantly to get better faster. Quick sketch is an excellent exercise for this. Once in a while do long studies but spend most of your time in quick sketch. Don't waste time.
Keep drawing and best regards
Thank you so much for the feedback! It's difficult to analyze my drawings from my eye since I can be biased. I appreciate you taking the time to look at my progress and give me actionable suggestions.
