Tips for making sword slashes: - Look up inspiration for what you want to go for (For example, I'm using some of Limbus Company's slashing animations they use for their combat sprites, and their slashing VFX for the actual slash itself.) - Make sure you have some sort of onion skinning tool in your workspace when making slashes, that way you'll be able to animate it easier (Basically what happens for onion skinning is that it'll show the next costume, the previous costume, or both on the current one you selected.) - Have your character look like they are preparing to slash to add more detail (Don't make it slow, but don't make it too fast unless you are going for a fast slash, which in this case add less costumes.) - There are more in-depth guides, but these are just basic fundamentals on what you should know for when you're making slashes for characters.
