while I suck at drawing, I can maybe suggest one thing.

start by just drawing a line for the tail. yes, a line. from the line tool.

then, use the path cursor and double-click the line for more options. drag the line to make it curved and use the handles to make it exactly how you want it to. double-click to make another node with more handles.

use this line as the tail. do this for every frame. or every other frame if you want.

when the line looks alright, draw around that line so that the proportions of the tail are good, then remove the lines.

note: you might want to use a new layer for the line tail. then you can show/hide it whenever.

This video is great for animating hair, tails, antennae, hats, and other appendages. (It’s part of 12 parts series called the 12 principles of animation which based off the book)
