All skinners know it's hard to make skins. It is hard, but with this tutorial, it reminds you and you can make better ones! Make sure the bold text, as well as the bigger and red text you read twice.
Step 1
Open your skin editor of choice. I prefer newgrounds skincraft - you can use banned skin editors, as long as you don't use custom templates. Open a blank template, or Steve/Alex template so you know what body part is what.
Step 2
Add skin colour to the head.
Step 3
Make the face. You can change the hair/eye/mouth position if you want, and you can change anything you want. Don't shade now! Shade later!
Step 4
Check it has all the details it needs.
A few examples of what most skins need:
Eyes
Nose
Mouth
Hair
Step 5
Do the rest of the head. This can be hard, but in MOST cases, DONT MAKE IT SYMMETRICAL! This could stop the submission looking unique. I don't personally do this, but it's because of the type. Most types do.
Step 6
Do the torso. Make sure the sides of the torso and the bottom/top are done too, for when it does animations.
Step 7
Do the arms. This is the opposite of step 5. Make sure the side of the arm touching the torso is just like the torso.
Step 8
Do the legs. The legs are the same as the arms with the side but also top of legs. Human characters normally have shoes. Make sure if you need them you have them!
Step 9
Review your skin. If you are going to make a skin for everyone, follow the "everyone" route. If you are making a personal skin, follow the "me" route.
Step 10: Everyone
Open up the place where you are going to share it. For example, Planet Minecraft.
Step 10: Me
Change your skin on minecraft.net
Step 11: Everyone
Upload it!
Step 11: Me
Your done! Have fun!
Step 12: Everyone
Your done!
