The hardest part with any environment or character illustration is coming up with the idea. I started sketching some ideas and quickly come up with this environment scene. Depending on the complexity of the task I am doing, I'll make a number of different sketches. Now, here is the main sketch work which I draw.

Open a new layer and make a selection with a Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) and after selecting the canvas choose the Paint Bucket Tool (G) fill the new layer with this new color. Now I must deselect the selected area. For this click on the Select and choose Deselect (Ctrl+D) option.

The second step is here you to choose the main colors for you scene. And here are my colors for this illustration. As always I want to do something really colorful painting.

And always keep open that new file when you are painting.
