So here's my animation

I'm a 100% Newbie animator and pixel art creator or what it's called. I've never made this type of art before, i've always focused on modern logos and stuff in Adobe Illustrator. I've made arcade games but i decided to give some pixelart platformer games a try with my own assets. Problem is, i'm bad and can't find any good tutorials that can teach me general pixel art creating Any tips on how to make this attack animation better?
Maybe post an edit on this topic so i can use that for a reference when making future animations?

Thanks 

Also Quick Question: How do i insert gifs or animations directly to a post? Thanks.
