Sharpen your pencil first

I do this I first draw a sketch of the schematic, then make that into a neat drawing
Finally, add the component values. Some people are more comfortable using computers to draft things, I prefer a pencil and paper. Then scan it so you have a back up copy.

If you want to get fancy make sure and add tube PIN numbers and transformer wire colours.

Then make a copy of your drawing and double check it against the amplifier, crossing off components a small you locate them.
