Oh and one more nifty trick I do. When you have your pose all set, use the + tool (the IK tool) and grab an applicable arm or leg or the head and give the figure a slight yank in the direction of action. You don't need the IK turned on to do this. This will cause a more natural flow across the figure. For example, if you pose a punch thrower no matter how well you do it, the figure will probably still look a bit static. Now grab the punching arm and pull the figure slightly in the direct of the punch and all the linked parts will slightly line up in unisen giving a better appearance of flow across the figure.
