Hey there uwu that's a simple post so uhm yeah, right to the point.
I wanted to create an accent for my dragons some weeks ago, but I can't afford any computer programs. As a mobile user, I couldn't find apps that supported psd files, and even googling about mobile skins/accents didn't help me at all. So, I've improvised a way of doing them without the psd's! I use IbisPaint X, on Android.

For accents
go to the scrying workshop, make the dragon breed/gender you want fully white and with basic genes
Add it to the first layer. OR add a pic of your dragon, so you can see how it will look like on the end. But in both options you will need the white dragon picture
Be sure that you don't move, rotate or zoom the dragon image.
Add a new layer -above- for coloring. Use the clipping tool so the colors you add keep inside the dragon's lineart.
Turn on the "multiply" blending mode to the accent's layer and you can start doing it. You will not need to worry about keeping it inside the dragon
After finishing you accent, use the wand tool. Select everything around the dragon. Always check between wings and tails, you'll need to select everything out of the dragon's lineart.
Still in the accent's layer, erase all you have selected
After this, you'll un-clip the accent's layer. Get the dragon lineart layer above the accent and clip it. Use the blending mode to make the lineart, shadows and your accent visible. I usually use multiply or darken, but be sure to check more options, as some of them can slightly change the colors of your accent sometimes.

And you're done! Save the file into transparent png and it will be ready to submit
For skins
This one is pretty easier than the accent, but basically the same thing
Add your white dragon base, just like you did for the accent. Then add the skin layer above and clip it so you only fill inside the dragon's lineart. Add another white dragon layer above and use the blending mode to make the lines and shadows visible.
Feel free to add a blend mode to the color, and explore what you can get. Just always be sure that the lineart isn't modified at the end, and that all shadows are visible
That's a very very simple post and not aesthetically pleasing but oof yup, sorry. I hope it helps some people over there ; u;
