Aren't there more than enough examples of that in the books themselves? Are you literally mentally challenged?

You might be legitimately mentally challenged. No one actually uses construction the way you think it is being used. Have you ever even read Loomis before? He teaches a mannequin that is literally just what you are talking about, a placeholder for the actual figure, mostly for beginners to get comfortable with the concept of gesture and proportions. Afterwards, he goes straight to sketchign figures like pic related.

I swear, idiots like you need to take a fucking step back and actually fire up their brain for once and THINK about this. What is the placeholder used for? To make informed decisions that help you with the final drawing. These decisions usually are: Gesture / movement / balance, the relation between ribcage and pelvis, proportions and most importantly volume and perspective. ANY type of placeholder you will draw that does these things IS some form of construction.
