Grab a human anatomy book, that helps loads.

I'm going to second this. Also, draw A LOT. You will get better with experience.
When you can, use photos for drawing reference (And I mean as a reference, not as a background replacement). This will help you perceive what certain things look like, and this is not considered cheating.
BrilliantEraser:
Oooh, thanks a ton, guys. I have been doing everything you all recommended -- drawing lots, drawing from reference pictures, looking at anatomy textbooks, and I think it is really helping. I will post an update of what I have been doing recently. I personally can see the difference already, which is very fulfilling. I do not think that is the right word?

Been working more on the comic. I got a Wacom Bamboo tablet, and drawing on it is a lot of fun, though it is a very different feel from pen and paper. Anyways, here is some new art for the comic; looking for continued criticisms, please!
Also, the new Traitor website is at www.brillianteraser.wordpress.com
You can find all the Traitor comics listed under their respective header on the right-hand side of the blog.

Hmm.. hey, here's my only piece of criticism, like they said, studying the human anatomy helps, along with practice. Yet, if you walk down that road, I would suggest looking at how the human body moves. The joints etc. Ive taken a few drawing classes, and honestly, they can be a big help in certain areas. (Like the aforementioned joint movement) At the same time, its up to you to develop your own style and how you want YOUR comic to look.
Speaking of which, I checked out your site. I like the dialogue and how the comic.. 'flows' but I'm not very descriptive on various things. In summary, keep at it. Its good stuff. :)
