How to create Lo-Fi Album Art in 10 steps (Lo-fi artwork)
Yo yo yo: what's up guys, it's your boy kid crayonand! Today, i'm going to show you guys how to makeyour own custom lo-fi artwork, so here's a glimpseof, the final artwork and i'm going to go for thesteps. It takes to create an art piece like this ifyou're unfamiliar with blowfire artwork. It usuallydepicts scenes like your cityscape urban tokyohouses and most commonly a bedroom scene. You maybe familiar with the low five raccoon or the girlstud gym of the cat in the background on lo-firadio or chill hop radio.



So before we get startedbig shout out to the bedroom, beat master dialecthe's, the guy that commissioned me to create thisartwork and also provided all the beats that youhear in right. Now, if you like those mellow, vibesbe sure to check out with soundcloud i'll put thelink in description below as well as a videoi made about the last album cover, i designedfor him. Lastly, make sure you guys stick around toend the video where i'm gon na be doing a giveawayof, a super dope new star wars, print that simonshall send me to give away to one of you guyslet's. Do it pow step one i'm gon na be doing abedroom scene? So i would recommend, if you'regonna be doing the same kind of scene, get somereference photos um.



It doesn't have to be theperfect angle, but you kind of want to getsome good photos of all the items that youwant to include. In your illustration. I don'tactually know what dialect's desk looks: likei, don't really know his equipment that well soif. You can send me some photos, it really helpsmake the illustration more personal and yeahit's only going to improve it with referenceso. Here are the reference pictures thathe sent me.



So we've got his desk hereand his little beat machine. So i'm going to comeup with an angle - and i'm gon na include this deskand these items in the final illustration steptwo um. So it doesn't really matter whether you'redoing this in the computer or if you're doing ithand-drawn, but i would recommend having a gridsystem. So i use this graph paper. It'S so damncheap um you just order on amazon or go to theshop.



You can buy it in tesco's or whatever it'svery important. I think most. I should have thisanyway um but yeah. If not just draw up asimple grid system, they only have to be likea centimeter by centimeter or scan one in ordownload it if you're doing it on the computerso with the first draft, i'm keeping it reallyloose, i'm using the graph paper in order toget all the right Angles, you can come up with anykind of anchor that you want for the room, but thisis kind of the angle that i've chosen to do forthis scene sick. So we now have this super roughsketch.



It might even be a little bit hard for youguys to see. I hopefully kind of understood how iwas doing it in the time lapse, but yeah i liketo kind of go over the same image loads of timesjust to refine it. So next i'm going to take ontothe light box and have another stab at doing this. So, as you can see, i'm literally just doing abetter version this one's going to be a lot moredetailed and kind of wear roughed in areas i'mreally trying to hone in on a better compositionand, yeah and richer complexity. With the details - and here we go - here's a lotcleaner version, a little bit nicerum ignore this guy in the corner, i'lljust doodle, when i was on the phoneum a lot cleaner and yeah the graph papersreally helped.



So i, as i said, i would recommendhaving used the graph paper because itjust helps get all these angles rightnow. What i'm going to do is i'm going to go backon the light box and i'm going to do a pen versionof this, which will be the final version which i'llthen scan into the computer and start coloring soas. I said it doesn't matter too much um what paperyou're using, but i just like to use something abit more weight when i'm actually using pens umi also have been using, as you can see in most ofmy videos, i'm using the molotow black liners andi've kind of mixed Between using a 0.4 to 0.1 it'sbetter to go on the outside of like furniture, witha, thicker kind of pen and then all the details, youshould do with a you know much finer nib umyeah.



But here is the final illustration. Andthe next step now is i'm going to just take itinto the computer and i'm going to clean it upnow. If you don't have a computer, obviously don'tworry about it. You can still do this with coloringpencils or pens. So just do this next step, withlike copics or whatever you have lying around.



All i've done here is i've just taken itinto computer. I just cleaned everything, upsquared it all off, and now i've flattened thelayer and multiplied it so i can start coloring it. So, to start off the color and phase, what i'vedone is i've just got on the internet and i'velooked up a lot by color palette, and this is justgoing to be the base of the coloring and yeahi'm just going to very loosely color and justkind of work out. The scene by trial and errorthis is going to be rough. Sodefinitely, don't do everythingperfectly because we're going to cleanup once we're happy with the color draftso yeah just have fun at this stage, with itand just experiment with different shades.



Here i'm doing the cleaned up version, one tip ihave, to give you guys um, please don't use like100 different shades, the same color if you'regoing to use red use that same red, throughoutif you're going to use the blue use the sameblue throughout. Obviously, you can have likedifferent tones of that like one above and onebelow for dark and shadow it just it doesn'tlook good. If you use too many different colorsobviously, don't have you know three green thingsnext to each other you're going to have tochange the tones or two different brownsnext to each other. You want to obviously changethe tone, but generally just use that dropper soyou can use the exact same color throughoutthe piece. It just makes it look a lot better.



As you can see, it's quite a smallprocess, so i'm just going to skip forward andfinish this one without doing a time-lapse ofit, because you kind of get the picture and i'mgoing to show you then how we're going to add afilter over top of it, so that it's Going to kindof match with the kind of low fire aestheticit's kind of good, to do this with a coupledifferent color filters, but i'll explain, thatin a minute: let's do it! Oh, so i'm going to do a couple of differentvariations of this cover for dialect, so thathe can release a different one for each of thetracks he's going to release just to mix up alittle bit. So the best way to do this is withphoto filters. So you can find this. If you go upto image, adjustments and then photo filters, youcan add this kind of warming effect a coolingeffect or you know you can add any other kind ofcolor going over the top of it.



I'M also changingthe computer screen and few little elementsjust to make each cover slightly different butyeah. If you can see i'm doing like a warmer one, acooler one. This gives it more of like a night feelor an awesome, feel and yeah. This is yeahtypical of the kind of low fire, aesthetic boomso, we're all finished. With the final artworkhave, you seen, i've done a couple.



Versionslet'S take a look at the super sexy final resultsas. You saw. I did a couple differentversions of this. Hopefully this washelpful for someone out there trying tofind a guide on how to create lo-fi artworkobviously, don't do the same thing. Becausethis is an album cover, but hopefully youpicked up some tips and some tricks onhow to kind of create that aesthetic.
