To do this, we need to use the Add condition for layer feature.
Upload a body layer in a color. Example*: Light color body.
Resize and move the body to the correct position
Add a personalization option: "1 Clipart category" for the Light body. And select the "Light body" clipart category (prepared in Step 2).

Add condition for this Light body option:
- Click on Conditional Settings to open more settings
- In Other option, select "Skin layer" option (which is added in step 3.1)
- Select the "Light" option of the Skin color options.

Enable the "Show this layer on first load" toggle. To show this "Light color body" layer on artwork from the beginning (when customers have not select any options yet).
You can choose to enable this option in another body layer, like "Dark color body", to show the Dark body from the beginning instead of Light. But if you don't enable on any layer, there will be no body showing up on artwork by default.
(optional) Scroll up to the Clipart category’s default value: feature.

Tips: you can check the resolution number below the clipart to make sure the new Light body layer has the same size as the original.
- Add personalization option
- Add condition to depend on the "Dark" value of Skin layer. And select Default value if necessary.
Only enable "Show option as default" in one layer (light or dark body). If you enable on 2 layers, both Light and Dark body layers will show up on artwork from the beginning.
Save & Done!
Bonus: Remember to double check the position of each options and re-order it in Campaign.

You can follow the steps above normally, and Add condition to all those layers to depend on the same Skin layer's option.
