Someone suggested this in my previous blog and I said maybe I would do it if I reach 200 subs. Silly me didn't realize i wasn't at 150 anymore, I was at 197, so I check my subs a little later and it was 200. 200 is a lot (to me, at least) and I decided I'll make something out of celebration. Thank you so much to all of my subscribers, and any future ones. I really appreciate the the support♥




Now for the actual tutorial.

For this tutorial I am using MCSkin3D which is the only program I recommend to anyone who makes skins. It's free and easy to use.


Okay, so this is the pretty girl we're going to be working with.

Shading Tutorial [200 Subs]
(kind of.)

Almost all of the colors are going to be hue shifted, and the_soup has the best tutorial for that and I cannot do justice for the subject like she can, so I'm linking it so you can learn about that.

Shading Tutorial [200 Subs]
We're going to start with the shadows of the hair, because we want the hair to look 2fab.
This is the basic pattern I start my hair off with like in the Emma Frost skin.

Shading Tutorial [200 Subs]
At the tip of is shadow part, add two pixels of the second darkest color.
you know what i am bad at explaining so just watch what i do okay okay.


Aw yeah that's looking good so far, huh? I personally don't think it needs extra highlights, but it probably does, so take that as you may.


Sometimes you realize that the cute little light part you're trying to do isn't working but you know what we're going to make this work okay we're going to figure this out together and make an awesome skin.
 Also, I added that random dark pixel there to give her hair a little wave going on. Trust me, it will look good eventually.






That's her hair so
far, do you see what I meant about the wave? Your eye tends to be drawn to lighter colors, so you're focusing on this wave i made by contrasting shades and hues. SCIENCE.


Now we are moving on to her skin. I try not to make the 'hidden' parts of the skin too busy. It's easier to mess up on and I simply like doing it this way.






I didn't like the shirt colors, so I changed it.


Sorry for skipping part of the shirt, but you should be able to figure it out.




Wow, I am very inconsistant. But here's the skin and shirt done, now just time for shorts, boots, and finishing touches and we are set.


These are the shorts.


Remeber to brush your teeth and flossing is important.


Why do I shade like this? I don't know. If you want to know how to shade, please find someone who doesn't just rely on hope and two breakfasts.


Somewhere I forgot that I'm doing a tutorial. I am displeased with past-self.


Remember to always do the bottom of your shoes to match the rest. That is important. People are going to be looking at your skin and they're going to be like "YOOOOO" and when they notice the bottom of you feet they're going to be like "NOOOOO".


  
Okay so this is your face cute I know, but your eyes are plain. What you're going to do is hue shift your lashes going darker. Your lashes should at least somewhat match your hair, so I am going to brown lashed which I am later going to turn into slighty more red. As for your eyes, you want to stick with cold colors. Your cold colors are blue, violet, cyan, and green. Pretty much anything involving a lot of blue. Since this skin has green eyes, we're going with green. Notice the eyes aren't completely white anymore, they have a green tint.

NOW using a bright pink color like this

we are going to give this skin rosy cheeks so she looks like she's blushing all the time even thought you probably dont give a butt. Just lower your 'A' to about 60 and you're good.



Awesome, we're done!



Pssst, if you are wondering where I got my picture for my profile and for this blog, check out this online comic called Off White. It's awesome and the artwork in later pages is stunning.

Good job, but it might be a good idea to swap those wolfs for some pics from the tutorial..

Thank you, and it probably is, but I don't feel like making an appropriate picture.
