How to get paint tool to stop at selection borders
#5
Is it something like this:

One way:

1. Use the fuzzy select tool to select inside the closed area. https://i.imgur.com/1apEsST.jpg

If you used that selection it leaves a nasty border, so increase the selection by a pixel or two. Select -> Grow

2. Use the quick mask. The little icon bottom left toggles on and off. Painting in black subtracts from the selection (white adds to the selection) https://i.imgur.com/FsEekAU.jpg

3. With a suitable size brush, paint in the gap between the tail and the body. https://i.imgur.com/752pPbi.jpg

4. Toggle the quick mask off. You now have your selection.
Use a new layer underneath That will keep the black outline crisp. Fill the selection. https://i.imgur.com/wNddqUv.jpg
