I mostly use the lasso tool to create the basic shapes on separate layers then I paint the color/texture into the shapes. You can also create shapes and then place them in perspective using perspective guides and the skew transformation. Itīs especially useful for repetitives structures like windows, columns...

Itīs not a very fast process so itīs important to first start with a sketch in order to experiment, then when you are satisfied with the result you can start the final image on top of it. Otherwise you will lose a lot of time drawing accurately things that wonīt even be in the final picture.

To speed up the process you can create the image with a 1/2 point perspective, so that you can do the vertical lines/selections holding the shift key. Then when finished create a new layer on top and press shift + ctrl + alt + E to copy and merge the other layers into that one and add a third vanishing point distorting the image with the perspective transformation.
