Here's a good trick someone told me in a sharty vc if you don't have much expertise in drawing. Take stock images containing the objects you want off your browser, position them, and trace them. I don't usually do this but I think it would help a lot of people who struggle with basic shapes. I did it once as an experiment and it turned out well.
(Bottom frame isnt traced obviously. The restaurant is traced, people aren't on the top left as you can probably tell, top right is partially traced I think).

If you actually want to learn how to draw go about it a semi-academic (learn shapes, foreshortening, perspective, loomis method, etc) way because there are too many niggers giving shit advice online. I'm not good but it will actually get you somewhere.
Here's a more complex jak I didnt use traces for

If youre starting out look for templates and familiarize yourself with paint.net, remember to disable anti aliasing when coloring

It depends on canvas size I think

You don't. just turn your brain off and have fun while drawing. You'll learn eventually
