i think you should invest time in making more human-like body for testing, because going full simplistic might be problematic when you actually draw full body drawings.
not that peanut people is an inherently bad project - but trying to get better by doing simplistic drawings will make you better at drawing simplistic stuff, not the opposite way. Try making limbs and play with posing, even if you suck, in fact the more you suck at first the more you can improve in the long run.
You can keep making peanut people while you work on better anatomy/doodling skills, one thing doesn't exclude the other. Ultimately, you have to enjoy what you do and thus, seek what interests you more, while ofc challenging you to do bigger tasks once in a while
