The DA user is:
I've found new methods, ways, tips and tricks that will help you out better than the last tutorial. 
If you think it's hard, give it a try first. I used a tutorial before that was sort of hard to understand, but once I read through it again and again, look where it's brought me 
If you have any questions, anything at all, let me know! <3
FAQ
A note:
PHOTOSHOP: To resize with anti-alias, press CTRL+K (Options/Preferences) and change the option from Bicubic (Smoother) to Nearest Neighbour ^^

In the tool bar at the top right next to the Brush options is the Mode button with the Pencil, Block and Brush choices for the type of erasing tool.

your art and icons are gorgeous! you deserved that DD! =w=
just one question though.. i made a bouncing picture on paint with only 2 frames. the size however is bigger than it should be and dA won't accept that.
i commissioned someone an icon, and it's animated as well, and the size is too big...
can i fix that somehow? .-.

On paint?? If you save it as a .GIF make sure it's saved to No Dither 128 ^^
About the commissioned icon - ask the artist to fix it for you
