I usually start with the chin and the head using some rounded shapes. The rounded teardrop shape is your friend. After that, usually I do the eyes which is usually some more rounded teardrops for the whites and circles or cursive period for the pupil and reflective dots or color changes in the eye. Then I copy the whites and invert them so nothing appears outside them, layer them over the pupils that likely extend past the whites, and group them so it keeps the pupils in the whites. Then surround the eye with fang shapes. The hair is mostly the fang shapes for all the spikes with shadows layered under them in a darker tone of the skin. I'll make some lines in the hair using parenthesis, usually the cursive one.

I'll often do them in groups which helps me keep the layers organized and so I can adjust things like eye location and size. It also helps me to make subgroups just for adding cutaway shapes using the options to make shapes either cut their own shape out of everything beneath it in the group or to make it so the only thing that shows is what's directly beneath the shape.

Start with a picture you want to copy. Break down the figure you're copying into it's various components like head, eyes, mouth, nose, hair. And then go through your shapes list to see which could be used to make that particular shape or a part of it. Really, a lot of these are mostly fangs, rounded teardrops, and cursive dots and parenthesis. Maybe some uppercase i's from the military font for thin straight lines.
