This is incredibly helpful for making walking sprites.
Just want to post this so I can share it with other people.

yesterday somebody asked me how i got the red-blue false 3D looking effect in the drawing of dipper that i posted, so I wanted to make a quick post about it in case anybody else didn’t know how!
first, you’re gonna want to condense the whole drawing (or at least, everything you want the effect on) to a single layer. then, duplicate that layer.
right click on the duplicated layer and select “blending options”; this window should pop up. what you’re looking for is the part i’ve circled—Advanced Blending.
uncheck any of the boxes and hit okay. Go in close and, with the move tool, move the top layer slightly in any direction—you should notice the off-color effect when you do. Unchecking R, G, or B should have different effects, depending on what colors are in your drawing. I normally only uncheck one at once.

Hi there! Sorry about this really late reply. I don’t know of any tutorials for Open Canvas, but maybe searching on deviantart for “Open Canvas Tutorial” will help you. As for software alternatives:
I personally use Clip Studio Paint Ex, which is only around $5 a month for 7 months, then you get to use the software for free for the rest of your life. It’s in japanese, but there is a translation team on the forums of sai.detstwo.com that have a complete translation of the software in case you can’t understand japanese. The program is pretty straightforward though, and you’d be able to figure it out anyway. It’s a very powerful program.
There is also Paint Tool Sai which cost around 30$ or so, but I’m not entirely sure. It’s a favorite among some digital artists.
Other alternatives include the GIMP, which is free and has actually updated to include many of the tools that photoshop does.

I said that I’d show some tutorials I have saved up to someone, but decided that I’d just go ahead and post most of what I have stored away and create a sort of masterpost out of it. (I figure it’ll…
I just went back through over 900 liked posts and dug out all the art tutorials so i can keep track of them. I guess this might be helpful to some of you guys, so here you go.
Here we go then!

New Essential Illustration Brushes V3 Extended!
Hey guys, recompiled a new version of my default brush set. Click the link above or wherever to download them from DeviantART. Here’s some copy/pasted info:
Version 3! What’s New?
- This is now an extended version of the older V2 set, (from 1.8MB now to 32MB,) containing the brushes I use often in my day to day Photoshop drawing and painting.
- Things to note: a few brushes have been removed because I never used them due to their rather uselessness. The “Knife” brushes in particular have been removed, and replaced by “Broad Tip 1 & 2” under the Flats Set.
- A fantastic painting set “Triangle Brushes” by Joshua Jones has been added to the Painting section, and I’ve been using these on almost everything since I found them.
- Also new are a bunch of sponge / spatter brushes I’ve been using often as texture bases to painting. Useful!
- The Chalk brushes are also a pretty essential part of Photoshop in general, so I’ve added a section just for them.
