Mentally compose the scene. 3. Roughly sketch an overhead plan of the scene. 4. Roughly sketch the scene from the final view point. 5. Decide of lighting sources. Sketch lighting directions, areas. 6. Create big vector shapes in mid/base colors. 7. Add vector shapes major shadow and highlight areas. 8. Raster paint on layers on top of the vector areas, adding progressively finer details.
