there is nothing wrong in starting with stickmans, but what you want to try is the approach that sculptors do. Observe how they start with a very thin steel base and fill it with aluminum and clay

what you should be focusing right now is to learn how to fill those gaps even if you're starting from a stickman, I believe if you were to begin constructing with shapes you'd tunnel vision too hard on symbol drawing. For this I recommend technical knowledge and learn how to fill those gaps first, I suggest Human Anatomy for Artists by Eliot Goldfinger. There is a copy of it on libgen, it's a .djvu file though but you can easily open it with Sumatra PDF. If you insist with learning construction with shapes, I'd like to see an example of what you are "aiming for" since there are different authors for different goals.
