Uhm, anatomy. The body has a structure. You have to keep certain things in proportion or else it looks awkward. For example the legs should be longer than the body, the bottom part of the legs on your sprite are very short compared to the top part of the legs, and I think there's a better measure but I usually consider the wrist to line up with about, um, the crotch. I guess. Of course bodies are all different but they all have these basic rules and the size of body parts can be viewed as related to each other.
