Using a graphics tablet and photoshop. I take a picture from online, blow it up to at least double size and put the original by the side,Take colour samples from the 'middle shade' of each area and draw over the blown up version on a higher layer with background block colours, which is the boring bit, then from then on it's basically 'scribble and blur' for a few hours using the original as a guide to put in the details, but not slavishly, in places I just do whatever feels right or looks good, and keep going till it gets fun!
