Skins can be hard to make. Sometimes, you can't find the right tool to make skins, or sometimes you can't find ideas to make skins. This is why I've put together tips on skins.

Tools

Most people use Nova Skin to make skins, I prefer a website called Miners Need Cool Shoes, at needcoolshoes.com. I am going to list qualities of this website.
-Camo feature. This allows you to draw in different shades of the color automatically.

-Mirror. This allows you to mirror placed pixels on the other side.

-Brush sises. If you want to fill in areas fast, you can use a bigger brush size.

-Importing skins by username. You can import a player's skin using their username.

-Editing by body part. You can select or deselect body parts.

-Changing Minecraft skin. You can change your Minecraft skin directly from the website.

-Skin layering. You can layer skins on one another.
