I will create a tutorial for this task in the near future. Until then, you can use your incredible Photoshop skills.
Download my version HERE and look at how it has been constructed. Turn the layers on and off. (Root around it - you can't break it as it is a copy.)
Some students might find this as helpful at a tutorial.

Objective
To introduce you to the work of James Gulliver Hancock.
To increase your understanding of hand drawing and colouring in Photoshop.
To learn how to include textures into flat colours
Task
Either using a camera or Google Street View, collect together a selection (6 or more) of buildings that mean something to you.
This could be a grandparent's house, a friend's, the bus stop, Chico's, Kings hardware in Wem, the Church. The only stipulation is that you must include your own house.
You are then to draw one in pencil, emulating the style of James Gulliver Hancock. That means no rulers!
Have a piece of work by Hancock open for reference.
What you will need
At least 6 images of buildings - including your house
Light pencil drawing - that has been traced with fine liner
Painted, rough-edged textures (either your own or in my textures folder)
Photoshop and scanner
What to do...
Scan in drawing > threshold > take away white.
Use the freehand marquee tool or paintbrush to colour on a new layer
Use paintbrush textures to add edge texture - don't be too neat!
