A really good rule of thumb on heroic characters is to make them be about 8 - 9 heads tall (anime being slightly lankier). So if you start with the head oval on a separate layer and duplicate it, you'll have the total length. If i remember correctly, you want to make the elbows line up with the belly button which should have your figure from the top of the head to the belly being about 3.5 heads long. The remaining distributed roughly 2/3's top heavy.
I would also say to take a look at the size/shape relationship between the shoulder, triceps and biceps in a few different positions to see how they feed into each other, and have different curves based on the orientation of the arm.

There's also a guy on youtube I think you'll like named Cuberush - really good at characters. Hopefully this link works:
