Your skinning is super good! I would know what to say for you to improve, other than expanding your reaches on what you normally skin. You tend to make a lot of human skins, but I recommend you start looking into more abstract or differently-shipped skins! Working with form can be a lot of fun and help you improve a lot.

Your palettes are really good, I like the colors you choose to represent the style and vibe of your skins. You can try different shading techniques, but your current shading is really neat and good.You can try to make different kinds of skins, like Blue said. It can be humans wearing completely different clothes or abstract things, whatever you want.

Personally i use an image editing software for mine rather than the 3d skin thing on here or even on blockbench. it feels much more natural to me :)

I’d say your pallets are fine, and your shading is excellent.

though I have noticed that most of your skins use a similar color pallet, maybe try switching things up and using more vibrant colors.

hey I never said you weren't creative, I think your current pallet is a strong one that works well. but all I'm saying is that your skin catalog could benefit from a small amount of experimentation.

I wasn't assuming that you thought that lol :)

I was just meaning that I never really do much besides sweatshirts and pants x,D

I probably should try different and more outfit designs...

:D Thanks! I'll try some of that.

what I've found useful is just experimentation. go wild with colors, shading, whatever, until you find a style that fits you! also, don't be afraid to look around for inspiration! as long as it's not a direct copy, using references like that is a great way to learn different techniques and find things that you'd love to see in your own skins. otherwise, I think your skins are beautiful :D
