Well, here's some examples of good proportioning and just all around great pics. Notice how I went over them with the stick figures? Get used to them my friend, you'll be using them a lot from here on out. My suggestion? Before continuing, print off some pics of your favorite bishies and go over them with a pencil, just like i did in these pics. See if you can trace where their skeletal structure is. Careful, some pics can be tricky!

Now I KNOW you really did go trace on those other pics, didn't you! well, here's our first try doing a stick figure all on our own! The pose is very simple, nothing tricky on this one. Let's use Mika as an example.

Well, that's the next step Mika! Drawing in curves and muscles on the figure. Since the figure is female, there will be a lot more curves and less muscle.

See how the body fits snugly right over the stick figure? That's what you wanna go for! A few pointer to remember when drawing your figure...

Females are on average, 6 to 7 heads high. See how yours measures up. Is it close? If the character is male, it will be closer to 7 or 8 heads high.

Lots of people get confused on arm length. the arms should hit about mid to upper thigh.(that includes the hand) If they're shorter or longer than that, your proportions are probably off. Do some erasing and fix it if you can!

Last of all, add in the details!
