1st step: Getting the gesture of the figure:
First start with the overall gesture of the figure. In this step don't worry so much about proportions and anatomy, and focus on getting the figure some flow and movement. Start with the bean and find the center line on the torso and pelvis. Then place some gesture lines for the legs and hands. Try to avoid placing straight lines for the feet and hands and exaggerate the pose a bit because it's going to stiffen up as you go further with it.
In this step, try and fill out the anatomy with simple shapes and also take the time to measure out the proportions and see where they should be in relation to other body parts. Measure how far down and up the elbows go, how wide his shoulders are compared to his torso, etc.
3rd step: Final refinements & rendering
Once again, we working from general to specific.
