Hi Patrick.
The coloured pencils on black look very effective, I think you are onto something there. Looks like a very nice sunspot in the first one. Was that intentional?
When placing features I try to image a grid in the EP and then on the paper. Even if only quarters this helps. I do wonder if it would help to do some practice sketches on graph paper until you can do it on a blank sheet.
Another alternative would be a clear sheet with a grid on it which you can use to line things up, but then take away to draw.
