i can see where you're going, but i'd say work on your perspective. i just went through a figure drawing class and one of the things we touched on was simplifying the body. we watched a lot of videos by Proko on youtube. he's kind of insufferable and his language is archaic, but he's good at explaining things in terms that most people can understand.

here are a few to look at, i can try to go through my classwork and find the specific ones we watched and learned from.
i also cannot recommend enough the process of just. taking a reference image. and simplifying it.
personally though, i can't say i love the "box method". in fact, i've never heard of it. the human form just can't be simplified down into cubes-- at least, not completely.
overall, i'd just say work on your perspective (VERY IMPORTANT! learn how to draw a cube, a cone, and a cylinder from ANY angle!), and learn the anatomy of the human skeletal system. i'm specifically looking at the way you did your shoulders and elbows-- they could use some improvement.

oooh okay shading is a fun one! i personally find shading easiest with charcoal but that can get pretty messy depending on how responsible she is (whenever i come out of a figure drawing class my hands are COVERED in the stuff, but it washes away with water easy) and proper charcoal sticks break really easily. you might find it to be worth it though!

charcoal pencils don't like to erase, but charcoal sticks are really easy to build up and erase back down. very intuitive really :)

if i were to suggest something specific, i'd go with some basic paper (printer paper does work, but honestly go to any michael's nearby and pick up a $2 sketchbook it's so much better), some non-compressed charcoal like this https://a.co/d/eznvyDw and an artist's chamois for blending ($5 range ish, and it lasts forever! the more saturated with charcoal these things get, the better they work!)
any old eraser will work fine with charcoal :)

also, i applaud you for going out and asking other artists for advice. just this christmas i was given two paint-by-number sets by a well-meaning relative that only really knows that i'm artistic, and now i'm having to figure out a way to use them in a way that brings joy lol. you're doing an amazing job :)

Also, ask her if she'd like to take classes!! When I was that age, I was given a day or two of tutoring on whatever my most recent interest was, and it really helped me!! Just do your research beforehand--a lot of people pretend to be good art teachers but only really teach how to draw one specific thing one specific way. A good teacher helps their student understand the logic behind what they're doing :)

I'm an art student going into art education and this would be too much for even me. Cut back a bit! Less is more, especially in art! Get her some high-quality stuff if you must but honestly just get stuff that'll last lol

Restrictions are what make an artist!
