I have Bridgman and Burne Hogarth, I am looking for other sources to copy from just so I can mix it up and stay entertained with this. Anything will do it just has to be filled with figure "sketches".

check out Andrew Loomis for sure.
also, they're not instructional/anatomy texts, but Burt Silverman and Henry Yan both have *awesome* figure drawing books

Yep, Loomis 'Figure Drawing For All It's Worth' has more figure sketches than you can shake a pencil at

Bridgman has a book called "Fifty Figure Drawings". It's a tiny cheap book you can get from dover books that has 50 drawings from 50 different artists. Sort of interesting if you want to see how different people do things. Some are sketches and some are more finished drawings.

Some books that are not as famous, but contain awesome figure drawings:
- Anatomy for the Artist
- Sketch Book for the Artist
- The Drawing Book: An Innovative, Practical Approach to Drawing the World Around You
All of 'em are by Sarah Simblet (so far I only have the first two of these).
