That's the idea, did you do anything other than cubes? Have you tried drawing cross-contour lines around circles to make them appear spherical, for example? Also since you've got Norling's book, read up on vanishing points, it'll improve your cubes a lot.

Anyway, you'll notice your cubes look more three dimensional than basic squares, it's the same with other shapes, you want to use them instead of flat lines when building mannekins. Always try to think in 3d when drawing. When you don't have hard edges (IE cylinders, spheres) a cross contour line can still show the form. Drawing, for example, a wristwatch on an arm will immediately give an impression of the direction the arm is facing.

some super quick drawings to show you what I'm getting at.
