Any Tips on Body/Limb Movement? I already did the mouth part but I dont know how to properly animate the body

are you tweening the limbs?
Tweening isn’t the best choice when it comes to moving arms and such, as the bending motion of a limb is too complex for the tween to replicate easily. Your best bet is frame-by-frame animation. And for that, the biggest tip for new users I can give is to use onion skinning. It’s your best friend in animation, it shows you the other frames so you can see what the next thing you have to draw is and where, without switching the frame a million times.
(the grey is another frame)
If we do this one at a time (for something like this it doesn’t take too long, but if you have a longer animation or a higher framerate it will), it will work well.
(the lighter the grey, the further away it is. it by default only shows the frames directly to the left and right of it, but you can drag the red in the frame to shorten or lengthen it.)
And don’t worry, the grey only shows up in editing.

TL;DR onion skinning cool, tween no work on arms
Thank you! I’m going to try to animate the full thing now.

Hey, long time! I’ve gotten used to tweening, so I completed this entirely new animation with the same audio! Also, I manipulated the tweens to act like a new keyframe since I couldn’t cut clips. https://youtu.be/7YF2b87i3kA
Hope You Enjoy it!

Are all of your animations videos done with Wick Editor? There pretty awesome! If they are, can you tell me how you skewed the legs? THANKS!!!
well in the wiki there is 2 levels of skewed legs, if you want to skill more, just make it wider
