How I make skins! I made this tutorial because my friend Deux Dubstep-senpai wanna know how I make skins.
I have two styles of making skins. The Toon Style and the 3d style.
Toon Style Skin with outline and shadows, looks a little bit from the anime.
3d Style Just shadows but the details are good. In this tutorial, I'm gonna teach you Toon Style of Skinning. This is easy if you studied NarikoChwan 's tutorial. So before, proceeding to my tutorial, study the parts of the body.
Now let's start
What you need?
Gimp Template The original pic of the character that you are going to make Mouse Computer Mind and Hand (of course)
THE SETUP
Open Gimp, click the eyedropper tool and check Sample merged and Set foreground color in the tool options.
Now, Click the Airbrush and set the following:
Opacity=30 Brush=Hardness 025 Size=Depends
Now you're all set
Making the Skin
First, Download this template (traced from Kano 's template) and open it with gimp, as you can see it's transparent. Second, Click file>open as layers and open the pic of the character (mine's minamimoto's taboo form from twewy)
(Dont mind the black background)
Let's start with the hair, use the free select tool from the tools and trace the hair. You can already imagine it by just looking. So, if the hair of ur character is like this, you can leave some space to make it transparent.
After tracing, use the eyedropper tool to copy the color of the hair of the pic and use the brush or pencil to fill the hair of ur skin.
On the color bar ( i dunno the term ) click the one on the bottom-left part to make it black and white.
And click the Select by color tool and click the hair part and then proceed to shading!
to shade, use the airbrush and draw the edge of the hair. Like this
now to put the lighting, click the reverse on the color bar
to make it white and black and use airbrush to lighten the middle part of the hair
and the outcome would be like this
Proceed, with the outlining. Click the free select tool and do the following
Fill it with black
Tadaa!
Add details
Now proceed to the face, trace the face like what u did in the hair, eyedrop the skin tone of the character and fill the face and shade
proceed to the eyes, use the free select tool and select the eye part of the orig. character and copy it
paste the eyes in the middle part of the face just like what was shown
and then trace the eyes, be sure to put the pupil of the eye in the middle.
Outcome:
Make the mouth and add details
Now do the same with the body, trace, fill, add details, shadow.. you can also copy some parts from the orig. char
Outcome
In the jacket, just like before: Outline, shade, detail, trace, and etc.
Outcome
In the pants part, you do the same, trace and shade. You can also get some parts from the orig. char
now proceed to the arms. making the arms is like making the face. trace, fill, shade, add details and tadaa!
OUTCOME
Now the blades
It's easy, just make fill it all, and add details.. i put some transparent parts in my skin..
And it looks like this
now click the eye of the template layer in the layer panel to hide it!
Things mentioned in the tutorial (click to open it or download it) : Sho Minamimoto NarikoChwan 's tutorial(not available yet in the new forum) 「Kano」 's template
This is how I make skins! I hope you learn something new!
3d Style
Same settings with the toonstyle So in this tutorial, we are going to make Goku's normal form for Sasha
First, get an image/original pic and if it has a background, remove it. By using the select by color and delete it.. you can adjust the Threshold..
Trace the head with the Free Select Tool and fill it with the skin color (get the skin color by using the eyedropper tool and you can adjust it in the color palette if you're not satisfied)
Shade by using the airbrush tool and with the color orange
Put the eye and shade
Now the nose and mouth, make the nose by shading.. like what was shown.. and mouth by using brush tool
Trace the outline of the hair
So, im making a black hair but i filled it with dark gray so i can shade with black and white
You can add a part of the hair by selecting it, invert the selection and shade black on its sides
Now invert the selection again and shade it and lighten some parts
Put more hairs
Now to remove the hole on Sasha's back of the hair.. draw some black parts on its head
No Template looks like this
Draw ears.. shade its edge
Now fill the body part and shade some parts to make muscle like what was shown and the shirt.. and shade some parts for the shirt to show the crampled parts..
The Jacket, make the collar with the skin color to make it looks like its neck
Pants, just do the same..
And the arms, shade some to make it looks like muscle..
Draw the blades, be sure to draw in the handles or else it would look like LEGO!
Now that's all, hope you'll learn something new and useful!
