If You Have and Understanding of how MCSkin3D works you can skip this step.

Set up: Open Up WinRar File > Extract Files into a Folder of your choosing > Open Up 'MCSkin3D.exe'.
Start By Finding the Templates Folder.undefined





Select the Skin Called 'Alex'.undefined
Then Find the Button Called 'Clone' then Select it. undefined
An New Skin iddenticle to the 'Alex' Skin should be created.undefined
The Skin will Needed to be edited now so that it doesn't have the netting around the Skin.undefined

Now you have your part selection open go over to the window and select each Armor Piece, after doing this make sure you delete all of this Armor. [Hint:Its easier to see whats left deselect all Non-Armor Part.]

Dont:                                                                    Do:

When all of the Armor Layer is deleted deselect the Armor Layer and reselect the Body. 

Select Your Main Skin Color and 2 Slighly Darker Skin Colors.undefined

Cover the skin in in the Main Colour then around the Sides of each face of the skin add in the Secondary Color before adding the Third Color in the corners.

Example

Now to Add the Detail. 
Find a lighter color similar to the Main Skin Color. Add the lighter Color like this:

After the Skin is Shaded like this, rinse and repeat on all faces of the Skin.
Items like Eyebrows, Eyes and hair are also great and make your skin a bit more personal, just remeber that if you do decide to add detail that you need to add the shading to the items.

Useful Information

Dont be scared to test things out when making a skin, if something doesn't go right you always have the undo button handy. I find the best way to design a skin is to test and improve. Dont feel like adding to much is a bad thing as you never know how we'll look till its added. If a skin doesnt turn out the way you would like dont give up, websites like this one have Hundreds of people who would be more than happy to give you informed feedback on your work.

Is using the lighten/darkening tool good for getting the diffrent shades or should I do it myself?

If you are using MCSkin3D there a Tab near the color pattlet titled "HSVA". Select that Tab and fiddle around with the second from the bottom slider itll give you the best light to dark color pallet for your selected color.

I'm pretty sure this isn't JUST simple skinning, but rather, a sub-category of simple called "blocky"
