One we never think about until someone points it out:

If you have a fully clothed figure (I know, a rarity; indulge me, okay? :) ), go into the hierarchy window and turn off those parts of the body covered by the clothes. Also, remember that the human body is not 100% symmetrical. If you want to go for realism with things like slightly closed eyes, close one just a bit more than the other. When posing the body, remember that there are few times when we hold ourselves 100% straight along the backbone. We tend to curve one way or the other, creating something like a very slight S curve. Exxagerate it too much, and it looks lousy, but keep it subtle, and it adds an enormous amount of realism to your standing figures.
