#MANYLAND SKINS SKIN#

You can see a preview of the movement in the bottom left. If you wanted, you could also use a different color completely, to give the illusion of shoes.

#MANYLAND SKINS SKIN#

For the foot I used the darkest skin tone. For this tutorial I moved the head one pixel to the left, moved the left hand up, the right hand down, and added a foot. With the walking cell, create the idea of movement by changing the placement of the hands and face. For me, I find it faster to draw over the outline you may find it easier to just copy and paste the first cell and edit it directly. The way you add the rest of the cells is going to depend on your own personal style and preferences. Changing the shading can result in some very unique looks! While making your own custom skins, experiment with how you add color. For the hands, I'll add one pixel of the darkest skin tone in the inner top right corner to create some contrast, as well as add a darker skin tone shadow along the hair and right side of the face. For gowns and dresses I usually put the lightest color in the middle, then go darker towards the border. I use two colors for skin, two for hair, and four for the outfit.

Shorten the shoulders to give a more feminine look. To make a generic female, connect the feet to form a dress and lengthen the hair. To really drive home the point that this is a masculine body, you can even start the shoulder line above the chin, to give the illusion of broad shoulders.

To make a male skin, you can add feet and a short haircut.

To start I always create a head and hands.įrom here, we can go in many different directions: Monster, Androgynous, Animal, Alien.but since this is a tutorial, let's keep it simple. This is a generic body type that you can use in your own creations and edit however you wish.
