Hey guys wolfi4eva here with How Not to make a skin.

First of all id like to say... don't make skins for the EXP you gain from it, but do it because you love making them.

Now.. ill get onto topic.

1.Never make blank skins... no one will look at/ download them.

2.Don't make ANY SORT of simple skin.

3.Don't make them dull and all one color, skin aint good with out shading BUT to much can ruin it.

4.Never make any rude/racist skins otherwise you will get banned from planet minecraft.
