To be fair, I didn't use MSpaint but Paint.NET which is slightly better (has a few p-shop-like features, but is still very very limited), and I didn't do it entirely from memory, I was looking at the cover.

You can glance at a cover if you have to, but really, you shouldn't do so for more than 30 seconds.

It's better if you do it entirely from memory.

Also, Paint.Net is light years ahead of MsPaint. Seriously. I mean, I could download it and do it that way, but it takes all of the challenge out of it.
There are a number of other people on this forum, besides yourself, who are in the arts/graphic design fields who could whip out a Wacom and boot up CS3 and do exact replicas, but what would be the point?

The fun of it is trying to do it from memory in a crap program and then see if anyone gets it. Not making (very lovely) exacting replicas of album covers that everyone already knows and just making them recite the titles and remark about how lovely yr "skillz of an artist" are.

Anyway, try limiting yourself to MsPaint and a mouse and your Memory (the three M's) for your next one... and remember it doesn't have to be great, and you don't have to spend a lot of time on it.

Man, chill out with the "tips". You sound like a divorced high school art teacher.

No.

Actually, it did feel a little bit preachy, but really, sometimes you have to hit Colonel Panic over the head with a mallet.

...preferably a large one.
