For painting things from life and from ref I find it helps a lot to start with blocks, like solid straight lines. You can always add in all the little iterations later, getting the original angle and length right is most important. You see it a lot with oil paint lay-ins, but it works plenty fine for other uses too.

It's not as good for imagination work unless you do a solid base kind of layer first, but it's worth playing with. Your lines are wandering and vague sometimes but some solid straights might help you block out forms better.

Pic related is kind of the straight line blocking in.
