How do you use vector scale diagrams to find total displacement?

Just a quick question. When you are given two vectors, let's say 5m (E32N) and 6m (S23E)
and we are to find the total displacement. Do you draw the first vector and then attach the second vector to do the head of the first vector? or have both vectors start a the origin.
 
Look up the head-to-tail method for solving for the resultant (displacement) vector.
