First tip. Stop using MS Paint.

First tip. Stop using MS Paint.

its photoshop not ms paint

Then stop using "Brush Size 1".
This sure looks like MS Paint 'cause none of the colors are blended together.
Without blending it looks plain and "depthless", just like pixel painting in MS Paint.

And the skin lacks of Highlights and Shadows; without it, a texture is nothing.

My suggestion to you is to take a look at the Tutorial Section, read and learn. And when that’s done, I strongly suggest you to learn how to draw with Pen and Paper before you start texturing; 'cause when you've mastered Pen and Paper, digital art will be so much easier.

That was unnecessary . . . stop making such posts pls.

Anyway, for your skin, I'll suggest, taking a look at some skinning tuts on the Hive, like Mr.Goblins tut, or the Anti-Noobism tut.
Good luck with your skin, the idea is already great
