use the book as a guideline until you find your own style =3 then you find your own basic of drawing
anyway, you draw those parts very lightly so you can see them but also erase them with ease without damaging the paper, what I usually do it draw the body first nude, like those you've listed but i skip the circle step (which is used to make certain that you don't make the body too thin or out of proportion). over the body which you draw lightly you draw the clothes, hair and detail also lightly but somewhat harder on paper so you can cross it again with the final pencil line to make what you want it to be in total or ink it.
you draw those basics lightly if you want to keep it pencil and ink because you want to see what goes over them (clothes etc) and that way you don't damage paper, unless you erase like a mad man ofc
edit:
I have a kind of example for you so you can see what I mean, though I made this with ink from scratch you can clearly see the joints in the hands etc. but only lightly compared to the rest
