Once, I was in a group project where we were focused on things we do in our free time. One of us liked to spend time in various café's, one liked movies and one liked playing football. Me, I just liked painting, so I painted them for the project's promotional posters.

This one was for the friend who liked going to the cinema.

Sketch > Base colors > Basic light and shadow > Color adjustments

After the adjustments, it's just overpainting, rendering and refining.
