I think the best way to begin learning to skin is to go to "Vagabonds Skinning Tutorials" they can be found here: http://www.mission4today.com/i...o&file=viewforum&f=9

This is a great place to start. There are several tutorials at Simmerspaint: http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/

You will need a Graphics program such as Gimp, Photoshop or Paintshop.

Hope this helps. Cheers and welcome to the wonderful world of skinning.

Thanks mapal i can`t wait to start

Good luck with your repaints RED

Sorry I haven't been back in touch with you, redarrow, I've been taking care of some business and doing a little photography. I don't know anything about Gimp but there are a lot of skinners who use just that. It seems that briyeo is giving you some excellent help. I use Photoshop CS3 myself and Photoshot Elements 5.0 before that. Good luck and please let us see your work when it's done. Cheers
