Well, I took shiru's advice to heart, and created some smaller creations before doing this study in anatomy. It's another girl, but in a less complicated pose, and one that showcases more or less, the entire body...meh.

Things I think I got right: The coloring, and the legs, I believe are the best. Especially the left leg. I feel it looks correctly proportioned.

Things I think I have to work on: The arms and just below the breast area, I had some trouble with. Will continue to work on those as I get better.

Things I think I did bad on: The face is by far the hardest part of creating a person like this. There are severe limitations on the space you can work with. And I could never quite get facial shading right, even in regular drawings. I definitely need some help in that area.

Not sure if it's good enough to enter the gallery, but I want to thank Shiru and A.B. Lazer for their helpful hints. I don't think I'm quite ready yet, so I'll continue learning about outlines and simpler objects. Speaking of which, shiru, I found this really good anatomy site from google. Have you to thank for that. :D

Before trying to copy human figures, read any book about drawing and learn about representing objects using only simple volumetric primitives. I mean, spheres, boxes, etc. This is the basics of drawing, you must learn it first. Look at pictures here: http://www.drawmanga.ru/tutors-body/body.shtm (sorry, can't find english article).

Although you got the face right, there are too many problems (like this person has no neck, pose is like it just was hit by the truck, not mentioning that breasts are too high, navel shifted to the side and  knuckles are not defined at all). So my advise would be to buy a pencil, buy a lot of paper and start to copy human figures from photographs or paintings at least one in a day. That is the only way if you really want to learn it (and who doesn't?). That way you'll feel proportions and what poses are adequate. And only then return to pixels.
