Heh I'm feeling like I did in art class at school are most people using the paint program? They all look so good...... Mid you it is the first time I have ever used it so I have a feeling I am perhaps not using paint to its full potential

Most of these are very very good. But it was so much fun to do and that's the main point, innit? I hope people are saving their efforts in a purpose-made file somewhere.

kalidarkone, yours was good- I prefer it to the original to be honest

This is an awesome thread - would probably take me a whole weekend to do an album cover, though

It's piss easy to get good results with MS Paint. If someone gives me something good to draw, I'll show you how I build em up.

Well, I'd have liked to have done the cover of Surfer Rosa but I had a quick try and realised it was way out of my league.

 

[mauvais]

Hmm, difficult. I'll have a go if I don't think of owt else.

Ok, for illustrative purposes - The Color And The Shape.

I had a go at that, as it's one of my favourite albums and album covers (mmmmm yummy) But i gave up on it. Way hard.

Tricky, innit.

I think a lot of the visually striking, simple and pretty famous album covers have already gone.

I thought that was Ronnie James Dio.

A bad Surfer Rosa it is.

Draw the basic lines and shapes in black, with the medium round brush.

Work out some colours and fill in the big closed spaces. Seal up the unclosed spaces with dots of the colour you'll fill it with.

Do a basic job of colouring everything in:

Refine & add detail:

Work out vaguely where the light might be, and shade in a lighter/darker colour on either side:

10 minutes, though I cheated by using a colour picker against the real thing.

Or, go for the 5 minute crap drawing option:
