Mouse Tail

Mouse Tail is a type of image composition technique used in anime, comics and manga for drawing tails. It is characterized by making the tail thin at the end like a mouse tail, and also making it pointed to give it a more dynamic look. This technique usually emphasizes the tail's movement and has been used in many popular works. Depending on the character, the tail might be curved like a spring or made shorter and thinner to look more realistic. Also, the length of the tail should be adjusted to the size of the character's body to give the whole work a better balance.
