If you liked the tutorial please hit the thank button below!

Lets cut the chase. I don't want it to be obsolete.

EDITING SOFTWARE

*SAI
Really good drawing tool with everything you need. It costs money,but you can find a free copy online,but it is NOT intended for photoshopping.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Paper and pen.
Just print an empty skin template and draw your content on it. Then scan it, edit its size,contrast and do some color correction. This could be a thing,but it requires too much time to spare.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* MS Paint
Are you kidding me? This is like the worst program you can use. Its like creating a bootleg movie and pretending its a Hollywood movie. Just stop.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Paint.net
If you fill it with plugins,its better than Photoshop.
So,there is a HUGE difference between MS Paint and Paint.net,since Paint.net is like an amateur photoshopping tool,it is super easy to learn and use it. Learning it takes like 15 minutes since Photoshop takes up to 2 months to master.

PROS:
It is FREE.
Takes short to master.
It has everything you need to edit skins; layers, effects, adjustments...
Enough to make a good skin.

CONS:
May get confusing since there is not a free selection tool.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Adobe Photoshop CC
It is like Paint.net but it has special space technology and stuff.

PROS:
More flexible for editing,some tools make it easier to edit.
It's just like paint.net with more features.

CONS:
You need to pay 20$ for a monthly membership.
ARR YARR DO WANT YOU WANT BECAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE!
It may took a long time,since you feel like you need to use ALL of the tools while editing. Trust me,it happened to me once.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Lightshot
It is the best screenshot software i ever saw. It is because the button is so mainstream.

PROS:
IT IS FREE.
Gives you the ability to screenshot wherever you want on the screen.
Press Shift+PrtSc to take a screenshot without having to select where to proccess
Automatically upload screenshots to Imgur,Google Drive or share it.
You can draw on the area you selected.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I guess that is it. You can post a reply if you want some software to get featured.
