Definitely, you can start with a drawing. Many painters don't, they use a brush entirely --unless, like, say, Jackson Pollack, they just lay their canvas on the floor and dribble paint over it, or they smear it on with a spatula or squeeze it on the canvas directly from the tube. Some people paint over a photograph! I only mention these things to illustrate that just about anything's fair in painting You might like to read the info at the link below, and you can also get more info by doing a an internet search for "oil painting."

well, you need guidelines, or else, how are you going to paint freehand
i did that once, they are good but my drawings are distorted a little
they use some conte crayon or a light color pencil
then they add the tones and then the details
it is really simple
the last thing you want to do is adding detail

I'm quoting from my art teacher who said this tonight in class, "Drawing is the beginning of all visual art."
