Scrolling BG Tutorial

Description

EDIT: eh, screw it, just view the full thing here: i.imgur.com/TVSALro.png

i love making these things and want to spread the joy so here's a quick thing to show you how I do it. I know a lot of people are intimidated by animation and don't want the hassle of learning a new program, so this also works as a quick and dirty summary of a lazy method you can use for simple animations.

obvs you can simplify this a bit if you're working with an actual animation program, but the basic scrolling method still applies

this assumes knowledge of things like layers and the magic wand tool, so if you don't know how to use those you might want to look up some other tutorials on DA first.

I don't know how I didn't find this earlier, but this is really helpful, thank you! <3
I love how it doesn't even need to be a complex background c:
I'm really garbage with backgrounds so this will do nicely!
