A lot of people have asking, "Soccer3665, how do you make a skin?"

Well, I have some tips on making a good skin!

1. Use a good skin editor.
-Make sure that the editor you are using allows you to make skins easier. Paint isn't always the best. Some good skin editors are Minershoes, and Skindex.

2. Don't copy someone else's skin.
-It isn't right to copy someone's skin, change 1 color, and say you made the entire thing.

3. Use shading.
-Make it look like a real person. Since the person's head extends out over the body, make it darker around the upper body areas to make it seem like there's a shadow there. Same goes for straps, swords, and quivers of arrows and other things.

4. Take your time.
-Don't rush the skin, making the skins slower gives you more time to think about the details.

Final tip: Look at pictures online, if it's based on a real person or character.
-I find that it helps to look at the skin and the real picture side by side if you are making it look like a picture online.

I hope that this helps, because I think it does do do each one of these things. Please diamond and comment!
