I recently worked on this illustration of Everyman's Manchester venue for their September/October issue of their magazine. As with all of my projects I first started with creating a 3D model of the venue, blocking out my composition and lighting, before moving on to my textures and colour choices. 

Blender's geometry nodes has been a great tool for my illustration work, all of the plants in this project were created by making primitive shapes, like cubes for the hedges. Of course this also means I can turn off the geometry nodes while I work and still know the basic shapes of the plants without it slowing down my PC.
