6 Steps to Silhouette Environment Design:
Start with collecting photo reference. I tend to compile all the collected photo reference on a single sheet in Photoshop.
Choose a side view from a photo reference. Side views work best when working with silhouette. Paint the design in with black.
You now have a base silhouette. Starting off point.
Duplicate the base silhouette. You now have a series of same silhouettes to begin to design from.
Focus on each silhouette and begin to paint in and out various shapes. Iterate and push your designs.

Think of abstract shapes. Strong shapes. Grouping of masses.
