There are two ways to do it from your choices: paint the same thing that was painted by an artist, or design it yourself then paint it with your own style. If you've chosen a choice, get ready to sketch. Your pencil should be out by now!
If you want to sketch it that was already done by an artist, search the Internet. Print that picture out and examine the important parts of the painting. Or if you want to design it yourself, sketch it out on paper and choose the best one.
After doing either one of the two, buy/bring a canvas of any size that you want. There are diverse sizes for canvases: tiny, small, medium, big, huge, etc. Choose one and start to sketch it there very lightly. If you do it roughly and thickly, it's very hard to erase it with an eraser. Or else, your process of the painting will get harder later. After soft sketching on canvas, prepare a small bucket with water, acrylic paint, a palette, several (acrylic use, not the water color ones) paintbrushes, and tissue.
Squeeze some paint out onto the palette. It's always important to control your ratio between water and paint. Mix the color with the other one to improve your color to make it richer. Don't always use the paint that was made from the company. Paint the medium sized things first, then the details, and finally the background. Use a small sized brush for the details, and a large brush for the background. The point in painting on the canvas is to have deep colors; you need to color the same thing over again for 2-3 times. It might not be the exact color that you used at first, but the first color is layered beneath the second time, which makes it overlapped. Your goal is to hide the pencil marks that you've made earlier; that's why lighter marks are better. After you've colored the basic parts, go on to the background.
For painting the background, choose if you like paint brush prints or non-paint brush prints. It quite matters how you want to paint it. If you want no prints, it's better to paint it in one certain direction. This again, you need to paint it 2-3 times. After you've done all that, just clear up the shapes. Then, sign it!
It's quite important to see your painting from far view since you've worked on it at a closer view. Now would be the time to do that (you could do that once in a while, while painting). Be proud!
