Starting Off

1
Register your account. Go to https://www.minecraftskins.com/ and press Register in the top right corner of the screen. Enter your email, username and chosen password.
- If you are a child, ask your parent or guardian before creating an account.
2
Tell the community about yourself! Press the pen icon by your 'About Me' section and write a few sentences about who you are. You could include things like:
- Your favourite colour
- Your hobbies
- Your pet
- Your favourite kind of music

Start making your first skin. You can attempt a shaded skin or an unshaded skin, but if you're only a beginner, you can start small. To make a skin, click the Editor icon near the top of the screen. You will be presented with a blank canvas of a skin. Then all you need to do is to go to the colour wheel and choose your base colour, then click on the pixels you want to put that colour on. Try making a simple skin at first, then you can work up to being even better.

Getting Better

1
Practice making skins. Try making a skin every day so you get better as time goes by. This way you will get likes too!
2
Enter a contest. There are re-shade contests where you have to shade a skin if you know how, and you can also make your own contest! Just make an unshaded skin and ask people if they want to enter. You will most likely make friends this way too.
3
Talk to people. Comment on skins you like and tell people how much you love their work! This is another great way to make friends.
4
Try a challenge. There are events like Skintober and Skinmas where you make a prompt list with a inspiring word for each day of the month. Then when each day hits, you make a skin with the prompt for that day.
- If you're stuck, put "Skintober Prompts" in the search bar. You'll get some great lists to inspire you.

Staying Popular

1
Keep posting. Upload skins whenever possible to keep a record of great art.
- Don't stress over this. Realise that not everyone can be the best.
2
Keep making friends. People will see your kind messages and realise that you're a great person.
3
Welcome new people to the website. Ask people if they need any tips or if they want to be friends with you.
4
Collaborate with other users. You can do a "skin collab" with somebody, where one of you makes the head, then the other makes the arms, then you carry on creating parts of the skin. You can also do a "skin trade", which is where each of you recreate one of each other's skins in your own style.
5
Don't worry about losing popularity. There are plenty more sites on the internet where you can express yourself and make friends. Popularity isn't everything.

Community Q&A

Question

Why does Skindex not let me in even though I already entered my email and password? I am trying all over again but it's still not working?

Community Answer

The Skindex will send a email for activation of your account. Perhaps you didn't activate it yet. If so, go to your Gmail and follow the instructions provided in the email to access your account.
Question

Why can't I change my name in Skindex?

Satiouu

Community Answer

Changing of usernames is only allowed every 6 months to prevent abuse of this feature. This may be a reason why you can't change your username.
Question

How to get more followers in the Skindex?

Satiouu

Community Answer

Try to post often, join contests and tournaments, practice new kinds of shading, and be kind to everyone! Follow some people you like or admire. Some people do follow-backs too. Don't go asking for followers though!

Warnings

Never give out personal information online. Use a fake name, or stick with your username. Don't tell people your name, address, number, or any other information about yourself.
