Description
Page #12 on my mermaid drawing guide.This one deals with additional fins on the mermaid tails besides the tail fin. As you can see, fins on the back, front, and sides of the tail are totally optional.
However, I do strongly suggest to use additional fins with discretion. Try not to over fin the tail. lol Also try to avoid mixing and matching different styles of fins on one mermaid tail.

'unsatisfactory'?
Well yes, but that's just the artists opinion, there's no CORRECT way to draw something that doesn't exist.

At this point we could get into a discussion about the philosophy of aesthetics, and whether there is an objective notion of beauty that allows us to make judgments about the worthiness of art- but let's save that one for a rainy day.
