Use reference. :)
And know your anatomy inside and out. Muscle insertion points, joint insertions. Use your reference of humans, animals, or whatever you're designing as your reminder of where things go, and take it from there.

Sketch out the general pose first just to get it onto paper. Once you're happy with the pose find picture references of the pose or of parts of the pose (eg a leg reference or arm reference) and re draw the pic using the referencesto keep proportions right. Eventually you'll start to remember the positionings of the muscles, joints etc. Learn anatomy like skeletal structures as well so that, if you can't find references, you can still get the picture fairly accurate. If you could post some of the work you're having trouble with you could get more specific help rather than just general like this, and good luck with the character design:D
