I use a lot of guidelines when I sketch because it helps me a lot. Hopefully this can help you guys, too.
First of all, the head and face.

Some basic things I follow are: - Use lines across the face to represent ear placement, eye placement, and the brow bone. - Ears fall right above the jawline. - Eyes are usually a half of those circles apart. - The nose is right where the bottom of the circle and the center line meet. - Sketch out the hairline right where the forehead starts.
Next, upper body.

- Shoulders are the same width as the hips. - When drawing a female character, use teardrop shapes when sketching breasts. Never use perfect circles. -The collarbones are just a bit above the cleavage and underarms. - Don't forget that all body types are different. Keep some variety.
Next is lower body.

- Be sure to use circles to represent joints. - Be aware of how small or large you make the thigh gap. Try to avoid making it too big. - Remember to not put a bulge on a woman or a vagina on a man. That just doesn't make sense, unless the character you're drawing is transgender.
I don't want to make a tutorial for legs or arms, but I will do hands.

- The thumb sticks out more than the rest of the hands. - The middle finger is almost always longer than the rest. - Try not to draw the fingers perfectly close together. People don't hold their hands out like that. - Fingers aren't usually pointy, so try your best to avoid this. - Palms are about the size of your character's face.
