No. When time comes, you'll do freehand. Freehand is to skin manually using the tools and recolouring. So its like basically drawing in real life with a pencil - thats freehand.
Actually not, Using only Paintbrush will get you better results in the end Burn and dodge is just a quicker and (quality wise) worse way than the above mentioned.
the one that is a truly good skinning would never call himself the best skinner, has to do with mature behaviour and such, things that seem to lack you, orcfan32.
@alfredx_sotn: I wouldnt say youre a bad skinner, you got some nice ones on that site, not to forget those that are used in rotd
orcfan said hes the best skinner. that i disagree with it as there is loads of good skinners on this site. voteing 5 for your own skills dont count, lol.
