Need feedback on my skins.
So, I made 2 skins in the past 2 hours.
They are my first 2 Starting-From-Scratch or whatever skins.
The one I'm using is the Fidget skin, but with blue eyes and gloves.
Fidget is from the xbox.
So these 2 I didn't copy anything.
Also, luckily, when I got my fidget skin I didn't have a PMC account, so I didn't post it.
Feedback and 1-10 rating would be appreciated.

If you want your skins to be noticed and appreciated in any way, you're going to need to learn how to shade. To start learning, you can look at other skinners' skins and base your shading off theirs - don't copy pixel for pixel, however.
You're also going to want to make your skins a tad more complex/original skins. For example, skins which don't have one colour for the whole of the clothing, and skins that have more detail. I know it's hard to do with pixels, but the skill will come in time.
Something which is very important in making a good skin is colour. From what I can see of your skins, you have one colour for skin and one colour for clothes then that's it. What you're going to want to do is experiment with colour combinations to get maximum impact with your skin. Be wary of using those bright neon colours in abundance, too, as it causes eye strain and can put some people off. That's not to say that neon colours are a bad thing, but when there are a lot of bright neon colours you should tone it down a little to avoid making your skins look like a cluster of brightness.
If you want advice on anything else, then you can always message me and I can help you out.

@above I thank you alot! I knew I needed shading, but didn't think it was an issue.
Use quote to copy what others have said in the forum, not '@'. Just some helpful advice.

Your skins are extremely simple and have no shading whatsoever. They are very basic and most of the time people won't use one-tone skins.
That being said you still have much time to improve. You're just starting out so this is alright, but once you feel comfortable stepping up to the next level in skinning, try adding shade to your skins. Even if it's only using a noise filter, anything helps. Once you really feel like you are ready to skin like a pro, try using a style of some of the best skinners on PMC or develop your own.
Remember, this is CONSTRUCTIVE critiscm, I did not mean any of this in a mean way.
Wish you luck on Planet Minecraft!

Again, I'm only a beginner. Give me feedback I'd be able to do.
