This one is amazing for general construction and perspective practice. There is a discord server and r/artfundamentals is the paired subreddit for community feedback and participation.
One book that kickstarted my abilities in cartooning that I hold near and dear to me is: Freehand Figure Drawing for Illustrators
I liked it because to me it was a "here are some basic shapes that connect into a mannequin that gets you 85% towards a workable figure" then I use stuff I learned from Proko to put the flesh on it and obscure the weirdness of the underlying mannequin.
I highly recommend taking a "life/figure drawing" course if you can. I was resistant to it myself (I'm not a fan of loosely-goosey charcoal nudes for the sake of high art) but it was immensely helpful to learn to start with a 10 second gesture line-squiggle, a few minutes of mannequin construction, then 15 minutes of actual figure rendering.
I don't know how easily I would have learned that lesson outside of the class, and it's helped me a lot in cartooning for sure. It's definitely learnable, especially from a lot of the amazing YouTubers out there, but be open to having things be loosey-goosey, and then use that gestural line as a starting point for iteration of your eventual figure. In lieu of in-person studio models, Line of Action is a useful alternative.

Hopefully that's a good start for you. 🌼
Not saying you're wrong, just saying there's more than one way to look at things, plus artistic license.
