Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is my ultra crappy short but sweet (bad) shading (pooping) tutorial!
Let's begin.. *sigh*
Okay.. first of all, get a color palette, I'm not telling you how to make one because, well, I'm lazy.
Then you want to start of with the head! Just look at this:
Head! - ish.

Sorry for no cropping on the images, I forgot to. >.> As you can see in the photo above (In the spoiler), I used the 1st dark shade in our palette, which is the lighest of the darks, and made the shape around each side of the face. Then I took the 2nd darkest shade and made it darker in some areas. At the end (which I forgot to put in the picture), you take the 3rd and last dark shade, and just add 2 pixels in between each middle. Ugh, I'm horrible at explaining.
Neck! Just do this..
Neck! -ish.

Ok, no we are done the dark shades of the HEAD! Wooo!
...
The Body! Front, sides and back!
The Body! -ish. :/

Just try and see where I placed each pixel, sorry for the horrible quality, I guess FN+Prt Sc. Isn't too good.
Meh :/
Arms! Ok, this isn't too hard.. -ish!
Arms! -ish.

Remember this, in the insides of each portion, its going to be dark. Its where the shadows are!
The highlights for each part will come soon, chill.
Legs! Ok, I tried. I suck at skinning, I know. Gawwwssshhh T_T
Legs! -ish.

Just like before, its dark where the shadows are, (the insides).
(Hehehe, what a lonely.. Leg!.. *Cricket* *Cricket*)
Ok, so now we have done.. Head, arms, body, and legs. Okie Dokie..
Highlights! Finally, right?
Ok, here is the highlights on the head. I get it, I suck.
Highlights for the Head! -ishy ish.

Do you think MCSkinEdit or Needcoolshoes.com is better for making skins?
