Grease Pencil Tool
With the Grease Pencil tool in Maya, you can sketch in two dimensions on the monitor. You can use it to draw the poses and paths of the motion, and to show how the tail moves according to the object’s motion curve. This can help you understand the movement better.
Be Careful! You also need to pay attention to the model’s shape and balance, and adjust the center of gravity and dynamics accordingly, so that the model does not look like it is going through itself.
