this is my first skin i just got done, i know it's not great, and the color didnt seem like it was when in GIMP and i have NO experience on how to use GIMP like a pro, as you can see it has a pocketwatch with bat wings near the front that i made up

But hey, it's your first one, you've learn how to use the voids 8)

I'd suggest one base colour and some simple lines or something for the next one.

why yes i did, it was very helpful, especially when it came to time of how long a skin is made because all the lines of where the flaps and bolts would be is not painted over

Once you have chosen the plane you want to skin, I suggest you to look for a .psd template for it. This way you can concentrate on the paintscheme without worrying about panel lines and weathering, as someone else has already did the job for you :wink:

I've made new skin! i know it's just my second, but I still feel lit's not good enough. i've done dodge and burn for cool looks but was not exposed enough though and is in wrong places.

when i converted from RGB to Indexed it made the panels disappear, what did i do wrong?

Your tide... hock:

Anyways, I like the second skin to, looks smooth without panels.
