Do you know that the art of modeling figures and balloons has its own name - “twisting”? This term is derived from the English word twist, which means "twist, rotate." It appeared because of the manner of creating models - they are made by twisting individual parts of a long ball.
Well, if you ask which figure made by twisting is the most popular among children and adults, the answer will, of course, be that it is a dog. And today we will learn how to create such a model on our own, fortunately, this is done quite simply. So, how to make a dog out of a sausage ball?
A few important points
First, some general tips. Twisting implies that the model will be created from one or more balls. They need to be inflated. However, this should not be done to the end. The tails of the balls should be left lowered, because when they are twisted, they will be filled with displaced air.
What else should be remembered before
making a dog out of a sausage ball? All twists during twisting should be done in the same direction. Then there will be no risk that the figure will fall apart right in the hands. Well, also do not forget that you need to start work from the base of the ball, gradually moving towards its tip. These basic guidelines will allow you to quickly master the art of twisting.
We make
Well, the tips have been handed out, and now is the time to learn how to make a dog out of a ball. To do this, we need a pump, the so-called "SDM" itself, as well as a little patience and imagination. The abbreviation hides the abbreviated name of the ball for modeling, also known as sausage. It must be inflated using a pump and firmly secured with a knot base.
You need to do this as carefully as possible, because he will play the role of the nose of our dog. Now measure out about a quarter of the ball and bend it. Press tightly to the main "body". We twist the middle of the measured segment together with the corresponding part of the remaining ball together. So we get a muzzle: the bottom of the short part with a nodule. But the upper two parts are the ears that our dog raised from a balloon.
Paws and torso
Now let's take care of our front paws. Before you make a dog out of a sausage ball, you should generally roughly figure out how many centimeters to give to different parts of the body. And the front legs are no exception, they need to be made not too long to leave a piece of the ball for the rear. From the head we measure a piece of the neck, and then two equal segments under the paws. In the place where one ends and the other begins, the ball must be bent in half and firmly press the pieces together. At the point where our dog supposedly ends in neck, both legs and neck should be tightly twisted. Further, the ball will already pass into the body.
In the back, we similarly form two more legs and a tail. And in our master class the most important thing remains - to draw a muzzle. We take a marker in our hands, draw eyes and, if desired, a mouth. And now the basics of twisting mastered! We hope you now understand how to make a dog out of a sausage ball.
