ok so I've been drawing my own guy with a sword lately and when i draw him swinging his sword down, i try to draw that sword slash effect but i fail at it and it's getting really annoying. heres the pic.

try that

what program you using?
In gimp I'd just use the paths tool, feather the selection a bit and fill in a gradient

Maybe this looks alright?

[praaab]

@CoFFiN6: Hey, that looks really good. How did you do that?

[CoFFiN6]

Thanx I did it on photoshop..just messing with the pen tool. I guess these sprite art tools would be a better choice as its faster
