It's not that difficult. Start with a simple outline drawing either full size of the size you wish to make. If you can project an digital copy, the better.
It needs to be divided into logical areas. Sky, ground trees, buildings etc. Each of those parts is then broken down into manageable areas. If you post a picture I could be more helpful. I'd suggest you check out some of the tutes I've done on my blog, but my HOST server is down so you can't access my pictures. If you wanted to PM me I could send you some examples.
There ARE excellent books out there addressing what you want to do so just jump in and DRAW WITH FABRIC.
