the boring part 

---

When I was doing a roleplay, I decided to find a skin that matched the character description. I found the perfect one, except she was wearing the wrong color of shirt. I went into NovaSkin to edit it. I changed the shirt color to pink, and removed the bangs (Oh wow what was I thinking). After that, I grew interested in making skins. Then, when I went to search teen skins, the first thing that popped up was a rant! Even though I didn't understand the reason for people not liking those skins, I clicked on it. It described teen skins as "unoriginal, recolored, unshaded". I felt really bad, but I wanted to try making teen skins that those words couldn't describe. I made a few skins (I thought they were amazing then) and wanted to share them. I created a NovaSkin account, but I decided that it was hard to share skins that way (I had to create a new texture pack for every skin I made!). So I made a PMC account. I posted about five skins a day. Those skins were ugly and unshaded and literally took less time to make then to POST on PMC. I only got a couple of subscribers for that. At the time, I didn't understand why. I thought my skins were better than skinners with like 1,000 subscribers. I thought shading too much made skins ugly. Then, when I finally got five subscribers, (yes it took a long time :P) I made a skin to celebrate. It was actually kind of cute (but would still be described as unshaded). One day I was just scrolling through blogs and I found a hair shading tutorial. I wasn't very interested, but I clicked on it anyway. I tried to follow along with the tutorial and I actually found it very easy. I made a skin called Shading Test 1 using that hair shading. I got some good feedback (good job, and please stop using that strappy shirt). I did stop using that kind of shirt and kept trying to shade my skins. I made a second and a third shading test, but those were FAILS :P. I looked at a body shading tutorial and I started to shade all my skins like that. I finally discovered that eyes too high looked bad and bangs looked good. My number of subscribers increased. I was very pleased with my skins. Then, I discovered a comment on a teen skin (that looked kind of like it could be mine) that had constructive critisicm. It said things like "maybe try shading a little more and try to use a different style of bangs" . I realized that those tips would help me too. By the time I started shading even more, I had reached 25 subs. It soon went up to 50 subs and then 75. When I had around 80 subscribers, I stopped growing. I tried doing new shading to get more subscribers, but it didn't turn out very well. I chose to keep doing my old shading but add more hue shifting (That was a good choice because my 90 subs skin got pop reel and brought me up to 100).
