I’m going to be quick about this. Never use the noise tool. Check out tutorials on shading and hue shifting. You will fail, but each time you try again you will fail less. Best wishes.

Ahoy fella,

To be blunt, yeah they're bad. But I reckon you've got the potential for good skins. It's v encouraging to see you seeking feedback and introspection - keep at it, that's a great mindset to have.

I've noticed an attempt at shading in some of your recent skins (1, 2), esp. on the clothes. Shading is a bit more than placing light and dark colours at random - you can use it to create the suggestion of shape/form and delineate between parts of the skin (i.e. between the arms and the torso, between the legs, etc) as below



Next, to make some dank-as colours, you'll need some hue-shifting. Unfortunately, at some point website formatting reduced the text size in this guide but otherwise it still holds up as a guide today. Hue shifting not only helps create depth in your shading, but also gives you opportunities for some brilliant colour combinations, etc.

I reckon those are the next-most immediate steps for improvement. If you need more guides or advice, lmk.

Happy skinning, comrade

Could you show some examples?
(on forum thng)

The best you can do if you want better skins, is to learn about shading and hue shift.Do not use noise,this look's horrible! You have potential ,you just lack some experience...Do not give up the good work!And good luck!

The themes

I think theyre great and are better than my skins but probably work on...

I think you need to experiment with shading more

I like ur skinz! I like the bear theme too lol

All of them are amazing
