Tapering

This might sound like a stupid question, but how do draw long, tapering things?

When doodling stupid shit like this, anything will do and overall look nice, but when drawing more serious stuff, I begin to sperg out about the slightest irregular variation in thickness or weird angle.

I've seen a lot of drawiings where artists just rush their snakes/tails/whatever and it still implies a consistent volume, so I'd like to ask /ic/ for similar experiences, resources, etc.
