Thinking dimensionally - drawing structure

The Skeleton:

The structure underneath clothing or flesh
no "broken" limbs
Following the spine can help understand the Line of Action
where the weight is
seeing a pose in 3D space - perspective
Believable proportions - (can still be exaggerated, but for ex.  correctly having the arms reach just above the knees)

Hint:  Act out the pose yourself to feel where your weight shifts and how your shoulders, hips and feet point



The Volumes:

Help see the 3D shapes
How the shapes move in space
Overlaps
How Clothing lines will stretch across the shapes
The direction openings point - sleeves, boots etc.
