Stick figures are good if you are just learning and they are always good but so is finished drawings right from the start because the less you erase and the more precise your lines the easier it is to draw the next line in the perfect spot. Random placement of figures will look really good most of the time because in the end even when you are doing roughs you are attempting to create ...
