I always see people in game with really creative skins, and after spending 3 hours learning how to use Gimp photo manipulation software (also known as pure pain), I got curious about what other people do to get theirs.

What tools do you use in making skins? Or do you just download skins instead of making them?

    I pick a skin from skindex as a basis, download, and open a photo editing thing, can be a free webversion.

    Then, pick the tool to draw on your image and make the brush size one pixel(typically just the smallest size). Then, choose a color, and start drawing away on your skin.

    This way, you can also merge skins together. For example, if you want the head of one skin and the “shirt” of another, open both skin files in the photo editing, then remove the head of the “shirt skin” by using a 1 pixel eraser, the reveal the head of the “head skin” that’s underneath the layer of the “shirt skin”, then download, and add the file to the mine craft launcher.

    Only works on PC though
