Counter-Strike:Source Skinning Guide Compilations

[Visionary]

This thread is a compilation of skinning guides and creating your own texture guides. I will keep adding tutorials to the list, and feel free to PM me a tutorial you have come across to share with everyone else so it can be added to the list. Please also post if any links are broken so I may remove or replace it with new links.

These go down in order of difficulty. I recommend starting off at beginner (of course) with beginner skin tutorials, then go down the list. These guides are intended for you to not only learn how to skin, but produce quality skins and textures, and not just average ones.
