Tails sitting. A person can sit in a variety of ways, but I like this
one because it makes him look like a little kid. His legs are straight
out in front of him, his tails are straight out in back, and no joints
are showing but his hips and shoulders. |
|
Tails hovering. This is a basic stick figure to demonstrate how foreshortening
works. Tails' limbs, body and head are stacked up on each other. |
|
Here is the finished sketch. You can't see much of Tails' body, and
his head is tilted down. There are many ways to draw his spinning tails,
but I usually draw them as a tall funnel with a wide, skinny donut at the
top. |
|
Similar pose, but from behind. You can see how Tails' tails attach
to his behind. From this angle, his white belly shows a little, and you
can see the bottoms of his shoes. |
|
Tails sitting again, this time with his chin resting on his arm. The
last time we drew him sitting he was leaning back--now he's leaning forward. |
|
Tails running. He leans forward, pumps his arms, and holds his tails
up when he runs. This is the same pose that I demonstrated in the Shadow
pose section. |
|
This is how Tails runs in the games. He just coasts along on his toes
while his tails propel him forward. His holds his arms up and bent, and
his forelock blows backwards in the wind. Look at the stick figure to see
how his limbs are placed. |
 
|
Tails the mechanic, selecting a wrench. Here he's crouching, not sitting,
so his feet are positioned under him. His tails are off the ground and
somewhat behind him. (Tails never lets them touch the ground, except when
sitting.) Look at the stick figure. His body is facing left, while his
head is facing right. It makes the drawing more interesting. |
