If you want to draw diagrams you first need to think of a sequence how to fold the model. Usually with CPs you first precrease to a certain point, then collapse into a base and finally complete with shaping. A diagram shows exactly this process. The usual starting point is a blank square that gets decorated with some folding lines and arrows. There are several really good videos out there how to make diagrams with Inkscape. For example:
