Oh man, that is one of the very hardest things for me to do when I'm drawing people. I have the hardest time coming up with poses and making them look natural rather than (badly) posed.
It helps to think about catching them in the "act" of doing something they do in canon (e.g. pointing a gun, climbing a wall, etc) or pose them doing an everyday human activity like watching TV, sleeping, sitting on a park bench or something like that. But ... yeah. It's really hard for me.
(If you look at probably 90% of amateur snapshots of people, they are either in the act of doing something or standing stiffly with their hands at their sides, so it's not just artists that have this problem. :D)
