Look at these sketches closely to see how we simplify a person!

Even though it's not hard, you won't suddenly get better overnight. Don't forget it will require some practice. The most important thing is drawing every day and becoming spellbound by the fact you're improving little by little.

can i use hitokaku or is that for stylizing only

If you're having trouble with Loomis and Hampton I recomend Hitokaku.

He dials down the difficulty and it's a better starting point IHMO

It's basically a beginners' book but it uses a fairly different approach to construction compared to what I've seen in western material, starting with a figure that is basically a bendy sheet of paper in 3D and slowly adding mass and applying more defined features as you move on.

Overall the methods in the books feel really intuitive (imo) and lets a beginner draw something that looks appealing almost from the very start.

It's all in Japanese though (though it's fairly simple and usually self-explanatory).
