"Hello, I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to easy ways to draw a turkey cartoons for this holiday season. With our main body in let's go onto the tail feathers and basically we are going to work our way back around here with the tail feathers. And what you are going to do is don't go all the way to the end of your line. No, actually go back in you know a couple of centimeters where about say there and from there you are basically going to draw a line slightly curving again and not straight. There should be no straight lines in here, very very few. Go up here probably to about where you can see like you are not going too much further above where your turkey's head is but it can definitely be a bit above. The tails are going to be resting up higher than your turkey's head. And then what we are going to do is basically bring them back here in semi-circular line like that kind of forming a bit of a wedge it almost looks like a shark fin kind of doesn't it? Now here we are going to draw a couple of extra articulations for later guidance. What we are going to do is basically going to put little triangles on the end of this line. Again we are doing this quick. Not really much in the way of details right now. This is just for later. And then we are going to bring a couple of longer more slender triangles in on the inside of this. Now as this should fall like the basic plain, I mean the points should always be pointing inward and kind of shifting with the tail. So make sure that you are shifting the angle of little points that you draw it. Then we need to bring the tail back in there. Then hey what do you know, there is your turkey tail. "
