I began by sketching with pencil directly onto the wall.
I then began to outline and fill in the sections I had drawn with acrylic paint.

Once I had painted large flat areas of color, I began adding value and shading.
Once the color and shading was done, I added placeholders for the 50 stars.
​
Once I added the stars and touched up some of the paint, I was finished!
