STILL BEING EDITED!
Welcome to Asai's guide to making good, clean, quality skins.
By that I mean detailed, shaded, colored, ect.
Now if you just plan on making a simple skin, you can stick with regular paint that (should) be pre installed on your computer.
But if you want to be very detailed, you can download either Paint.Net or GIMP
GIMP Download
Paint.Net Download
Now if you want to go above and beyond, you can buy Photoshop, but I will not get into detail with that. (mainly because I cant buy it
)
Sadly, you only have a certain area to work with, otherwise the size will be too large and it will not upload. The dimensions are 110x64 If it is bigger than that size, it will not upload at all. So be careful and watch how far you go with editing. The next part is the lines separating the body parts. With the default skin![[Image: defaultskin.png]](http://buildism.net/game/defaultskin.png)
its hard to figure out the separating lines. So you can either try and change the colors to see the lines. Now heres the thing, dont upload your test skins, instead, go to your profile and click on "Change" under your avatar. This way you dont clutter up the skin page.
