Something else to note: The tail being an extension of the spine doesn't just factor into its positioning, but also at how steep an angle, its base can start out from the body. After all, having a straight up right angle in your spine generally isn't considered to be healthy. So, if you want to be anatomically correct about it, you should try to make it form into one smooth line with the spine, lacking any sharp angles.
@Stratelier2 жыл бұрын
Note that the base of the tail can still have a wide range of motion making it _look_ like it forms a 90-degree angle with the lower back (common example: a housecat holding its tail up), but the joint is nonetheless a "bend" not a "fold".
@testerwulf33572 жыл бұрын
@@Stratelier Yes, but the drawing looks a bit more unnatural than a bend..mostly because of how it curls after the base; it looks like it's supposed to be a relaxed position, but how a cat tail works, that would be an upright not relaxed tail position. It's not quite translated correctly onto a human body..a cat tail on a human likely wouldn't have as much motion as on a cat because our anatomy is very different.

Here let me post more advice on tails but more thought out. What I said up there is good advice but I was not 100% clear. When drawing the person draw a line centered in them. Flow the line out where the legs start and that will be your tail. Now if its a cat round the end and thicken the beginning and tapper it down. If its a dogs tail depending on the breed but, make the tail a little lower then the knee, and point out the end. Make the tappering more dramatic. If its a curly tail make it long as above the knee and curl it. Deer tails. Make it the size of the hand. And a triangle. Bird tails. The same as deer but dont be afraid to push those feathers. Dragon tails. Do what ever you want but I tend to follow the same rules as the cat but make it 2 legs tall. And add extra details. Crocks and gator. What they said should work. Monkey tails. Just like cats but shorter (cats are below the lower calf.) monkeys tails should be slightly longer then the legs to help balance. Dont forget to make the tail thick monkeys need their tails to be able to carry their wheight. Make it like another leg. Thats all I can think of for now.

@bashful_vixen20202 жыл бұрын
Depends on the poof, for a fox I would say start with the thin cat tail to get the position down. Then add the shape, think long trapezoid with the shorter parallel side starting at the base. Where the other parallel side stops is where the thickest point (width wise) of your tail will be. Cap it off with a long triangle for the tail tip. After you get the basic shape down play around with fur shapes. Fox's tend to have short fluffy fur, so keep the strands shorter with less curve if you want a realistic look. -I've been drawing for about 9 years now, and one of my first characters was a fox. Good luck and if you don't get it down first just keep at it, art is mostly practice.

Draw the spine first, and then draw the "envelope" of the fur on the tail. The top part would have less volume than the bottom part due to gravity, and there goes the correct shape. Also, fox tail doesn't seem to have a significantly wider part in the middle, and the end is often more squared off, if you are going for realistic. Think of the shape as a rolled up towel. For artistic rendition ignore this paragraph and read only the first one.

This reminds me of a trade paperback I had of the debut of the second team of X-Men (Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Thunderbird, and Banshee...IIRC, the tag-line was something like "The All-New, All-Different X-Men"?), where it had a collection of character design documents in the back, along with the various cover arts, etc. The notes on Nightcrawler (who, for the uninitiated, is a mutant who looks rather like a demon, including a prehensile, spade-tip tail) make a very aggressive point about reminding the artists to not be lazy, and never just have his tail look like it was coming down from his crotch in full-front facing views. That the tail extends from the tailbone, and should never just be kinda hanging down lifeless behind him. It was the first place I learned this particular tip, and I'm always aware of it in both my own art, and when looking at the art designs for other tailed characters in media. That said, in mass media, I tend to notice that there are two weird, anatomically awkward things that crop up often enough to irk: one, is that I see (particularly in American comics) characters with cat-like or otherwise long, slender, flexible tails doing the "tail hanging down limp" or going the other way and having the tail standing straight up behind the character's back in a way that would break the spine. Two, they draw big, reptile-style tails as if they have no spine keeping them from hanging limp, dragging on the ground, as though a tail has no muscle to hold it up. Even a big, heavy reptile tail has muscles that allow it to move, and to draw itself upward.

Ultimately I'd say go for the "alligator" approach, maybe try to make the tail more slim and long like that of an eel (unless you want a chonky carp or something like that but I don't think it's a particularly great idea). If you want them to swim then the common left-right movement of a fish tail would conflict with up-down (when in horizontal position) movement of humans which might make it a bit difficult to work well together but it's not too bad, after all it doesn't have to be ideal. The "cat/dog" approach doesn't really fit a fish tail just cause fish don't bend like that but you can make it work, just with the angle between spine and tail closer to 0° (around 45° at most) rather than a nearly right angle. Whichever you choose it will have some disadvantages so best to try both approaches or even something in-between and see what feels best, and good luck with it.
@bluefox53312 жыл бұрын
If you want the tail for them to swim, having a tail between the legs wouldn't help with that. Unless it's a dolphin (so not fish), the tail would move to the sides to propell them.

I think it'd be most realistic if the spine split into two tails at the same point.

You would either treat it like threads of string coming off of a single piece of rope. Or, there would be a conjoined area of bone on the inside of the spine, that begins, and then once it breaks the surface they would pull off each other. I'd do this in a circular pattern which would also give the illusion of a singular tail. In general though, because a 9 tailed kitsune for instance is a mythological creature you could apply fantasy rules to it.

I usually put them higher because I just don't want them close to the rump, especially with lizards, unknown spy does a great job with tails though as an example (There character rikki has a huge tail but it's higher up)

I'd say probably the same as the cat tail but shorter. It'd come off the tailbone basically

1:27 Jessie: * proceeds to draw the tail sprouting 90° from the spine * Me: Nooo don't do that, you did not do that! Seriously it really bothers me when people draw the tail just sprouting 90° from the spine as if that's how it's supposed to do. (pardon me for the rant) WHERE DID YOU GUYS GET THAT IDEA FROM?! Like, wasn't the whole talk about the tail bone and how a tail is placed on an animal to avoid such mistakes? I got so confused. Have you ever seen a cat? The tail follows the same direction as the spine, it hurts my eyes seeing people draw it like the spine is just formed into a damned L-shape. You said it yourself Jessie, why can't you follow your damn instructions?! Really, why people, why?

@@AlicornHana yeah, that's why I put the "*" marks, it's usually interpreted as indication that the text describes someone's actions. Edit: oops, it was supposed to do that, I just noticed it put the text in bold. Gonna try change it to italics then. Edit#2: didn't work, but now it's as I originally intended.

Thought the same thing but it doesn't bother me as much as putting the tail way too high up. I think I once read a comic where an animal person had the tail a bit misplaced and it already bothered me then, even though I knew nothing about anatomy at that point.

A helpful tip for drawing reptile tails. Just think of how Mewtwo's tail works from Pokemon

Regarding the Alligator style... I have a character who has that kind of tail but it's mechanical. The reasoh why is primarily because he's a fusion of a human-looking character and the Yu-Gi-Oh monster Cyber Dragon Infinity, and... i don't know how to transition the parts. I was thinking of doing it as him having normal skin that blended into the alloys making up the tail, but... something about that doesn't quite feel right. Any tips?

I always found drawing animals better than drawing humans because i think we can all agree the animals are cuter than humans-
