So I want to make a character creator/dressup game where you create a character and give them multiple expressions and then save/download the picture of the character as a PNG image specifically.  How would I go about doing that?

Also how would I got about putting my own art into the game?

If you haven't yet, go through the crash course. That'll answer your last question and should get you started on the first.

To get your screenshot, you should learn to use the Image API. That can wait while you get through the rest, though... one step at a time. The crash course will cover the basics of actors and animations. Once you get those down, you can build your user interface (buttons, click + drag, etc.).

Okay thanks.  I'll look into that. I'll probably get my brother's help he's better at computery stuff.

Thanks though.

As merrak said you  got to learn  basics  of stencyl first.
Than, decide what kind of game you need.
I made one dress up game for half day,  other game I made for 3 months....
So, depending on the gameplay, all things can be very different.
Screenshot part is simplest. But  again, everything depends from what you need.
If you want to publish screenshot on Y8, we have good extension with extension feature that  was added by SadiQ. I is very simple just one block.
If you want to save on the device we also have extension for this.
Or you can save and load images using regular save/load feature of stencyl and image as text block.

Or you can download and look at  Tuo´s Demo-dress up game from Forge.   ;)
