I need some tips on painting a city

[Dr Midnight]

I'm horrible with cities and straight lines, I work much better with organic stuff... but I have a client that needs an album cover painted showing a city from street level. I have photo reference, so that's not really the problem- the problem is finding a way to make all those straight lines work on my tablet. I'm not sure if I should be looking for straight, thin brushes or just using my normal acrylic-style brush. I definitely need more detail, and every time I try I just muddle things.

Is there a decent city painting tutorial out there, or at least some nice pieces of city art that people know of to be inspired by? I need to know how some other people approach the problems I'm facing. Thanks.
