Saints Row - Step by Step Ghetto

Here is a rough estimation of how I go about painting buildings in Photoshop. We're missing about 1 and a half steps since I'm working backwards through layers rather than the real process.
The real first step includes a 3D rough of what I'm painting. They're just box compositions with elevations marked every 11 feet so I can make an educated guess at where the doors and windows go. I then trace those boxes to determine perspective lines. Once that is done I mask off large faces of buildings and block in color. What's marked as step 2 below is as close as I can get because I flattened a few layers of shadows and windows onto those color blocks...
1.) Using the line tool I traced the boxes that made up the buildings.
2.) I masked off individual faces of the buildings. Originally the windows were not there.
3.) Bricks, bricks, bricks. Some texture too but mostly just bricks.
4.) This is when the windows were originally added.
5.) Details - lamp posts, shadows, wires, road, signs, etc.
