Btw. I wouldnt buy photoshop just to create some simple skins its way too expensive for those stuff, you'll regret it someday. The advantage of paint.net and PaintTool SAI is that they're free so you should better use these.
XoOt has writtenI personally prefer photoshop because i am used to it but you can create exactly the same skin with every other program.
XoOt: Well , i prefer it too..@
Pseudon: I don't know to make skins , but i know some photographic tricks.. ..
Kirito2K: I agree with Aria. Use Paint.Net. It's free. Kirito2K: if you have ps cs6 already but dont know how to use it properly because it got a shitload of functions and tools (which arent needed for the stuff you'll create) i suggest you to use another software or watch a bunch of photoshop tutorials. Keep in mind that there are about 1000 of ways to get your finished image in photoshop, it's easier to start creating skins with a more simple software as they're pretty limited in the way you can create your drawingsTutorials you might check to get started:
-sketching
-coloring
-shading
-layers
-adjustment layers
-masking
In the end, its up to you.
CY: And use it. Its the best advice from a gurl/guy who mades awesome skins we see and use and download 
SmD: Gimp isnt comfortable enough for a beginner, it really would be the best to start with paint.net or ms paint. It wouldnt make sense to spend days or even months in learning the real usage of a software when you realise that you got no talent for virtual drawings etc. Admin/mod comment

There's actually no difference at all if he uses Ms Paint to make skins or Gimp because hes doing the same at both programs. It's not harder to draw at Gimp or something. And if he wants to create anything more advanced he already knows how Gimp works.
At home I use Inkscape + Paint.NET
At work, I use Corel Draw + GIMP (or extremely rare Photoshop)
Recently I work only with PNG format. It allows you to use many of features of alpha channel.

Pagyra: Hahaha. Team Paint.Net. You should down load some plugins on Paint.Net, like the shadow plugin, etc. 1
