Hi shau
Yes, using Owners/Shareholder's Capital is fine.
Owners/Shareholder's Drawings is the account you would use if you are a Sole Trader to record any payments you have made to yourself, or personal expenses paid from the business. If the business is a company, it should not use this account, but rather a 1-XXXX or 2-XXXX account. It puts it in a different place on the Balance Sheet.
Hope this helps.
