I'm not quite sure where to put this so if this is in the wrong place, please move it.
Anyway, since I haven't been able to use RMXP I've been making some characters. As for facesets, I'm usually fine with using face maker but for main characters I like to edit the face sets using paint.net (which can be downloaded for free from here: http://www.getpaint.net/download.html ) to give them more personality and set them apart from the NPC's. The way I edit them doesn't take much skill either.
So, I thought I'd give a tutorial on how I go about editing a character with paint.net.

I'll add a tutorial on editing hair and skin soon.
