Some notes: Male and female's neck are widely different in proportion and appearance. Female's don't have a widely visible adam's apple (laryngeal prominence). They also tend to have thinner necks too.
Another thing, there are many different types of collar bones so there isn't one way they can look but the connection and overall placement will be the same no matter the gender or person. Common mistakes: People tend to draw necks too straight or too curved. You really have to find the correct between to that area. It's important to reference and look at a lot of necks. Don't draw every single detail either, it will make the appearance of someone who is sickly. Good idea is to look how other people tend to draw details in necks for certain body types or styles in art.

Some notes:
When you are starting to learn how to draw heads and faces or learning how to do it correctly; you need to be aware that some styles tend to translate or do things differently. Not all good styles follow all the rules but with that being said, you should know and understand them before breaking them or changing them. You won't have a good grip on drawing heads or faces if you refuse to understand the basic construction of the head. Reference, Reference, Reference, and get feedback. You can't get better if you refuse to work with safety nets (References, Feedback, construction, and notes) and just drawing from your head. Your head is the most unreliable thing, your brain will toss out the stuff it doesn't need. So in other words, you need to practice drawing construction a lot and using references a lot. There is a science to repetition and taking good notes, if you are struggling with remembering basic info then take notes. Of course use references, you wanna draw a new face or expression look up images. You wanna draw someone or a character look up references. There are also loads more guides and methods. Loomis method is recommended because learning how to view 3d form will make learning easier and properly seeing things from reference as well. Loomis Method3d Method of Thinking in other areas
