Hi there AirTodd, I look forward to seeing your work. There is a process called 'construction drawing' that many professional artists use to begin their drawings with. It is based on the principle of drawing the largest and most simple shapes first. Your aim is to perfect the proportions and placements of the large general shapes before adding the smaller sized shapes and then details last. This process saves a lot of time and helps you to position your artwork on the page. Hope this helps you a bit. Cheers!
