INTERVIEW Mairo: Okay, well for deving in general it would be a good to start of knowing the basics of drawing, like shading, blending and choosing which color to use. I used to draw since I was little so for me the transition of drawing something on paper to drawing something on template was so much easier I already had those skills. Now when it comes to making skins, I heard some people say it is one of the hardest things to texture so I don’t advice starting there unless you really want to, but if you do decide to start making skins, it would be a great idea to go in the forums and read all the tutorials that are on there. I know a lot of those are very old and might not be as useful now (since the quality that the skins that were made back then when they tutorials were made are way different than the ones now) but there are still some very helpful ones, I actually made a group for that, because I saw a bunch of the old tuts link are broken or remove, so I went through and gathered all of the ones that helped me out and linked it all in my group, Riot Maker. It was very frustrating finding stuff that would actually help me, so I can’t imagine what someone who is just starting making skins is feeling when they are trying to get help and they are just being pointed to some old tut links that may or may not be there still.
