However you haven't used the benefits of the tools of your paint program. The sections of the skins are coloured in solid black. You'll need more details. Also spend more time on the skin - never rush or think about finishing until it looks good.
Yea I know. But, I'm sort of new to Photoshop 7 because my uncle gave it to me and I haven't used it until today. So, I really don't know much about the tools or anything. But, thanks for the advice and I'll try to figure out all the tools.
All tools in photoshop are needed to make a good skin. Photoshop is very complicated/complex for newbies but once you learn and get use to it.... woooooh you'll make professional skins If you don't understand something with photoshop remember to read tutorials.
Not bad for a first, but as Sopho said, it needs a bit more detail, also the screenshot could be enhanced a bit so that you can see the unit (this really isn't that important, it's just that I find screenshots that go close up on a unit make it much easier to see if I need that skin for a map or not).
Use image programs to customize one good screenshot. For example you want 4 sections on what the Footman looks like. You could take a screenshot in the game of the front bit of the footman, then at the back of the footman bit, then on the left bit, then on the right bit. Crop the footman with the direction he is facing in and copy and paste them into one blank image. Its possible to do this easily with photoshop.
