In this article, we will tell you about how to make a beautiful plasticine bird with our own hands. You will need sculpting mass in different colors, sculpting surface, stacks and patience.
The simplest plasticine bird
If you sculpt with a child or never took plasticine in your hands, then it is better to start with simple models:
- Take a mass for sculpting blue, yellow and white. First form two balls of blue mass. Blind your head from one, and form a trunk from the other.
- Stick your head to your torso.
- Coat the seams.
- Then, from the yellow mass, roll one small ball and two large ones.
- Form an elongated beak from a small ball, and drop-shaped wings from large ones.
- Roll two small balls from a white piece of plasticine. Flatten them and make eyes by sticking them to the head.
- From the blue or black mass, form the pupils.
- Stick the beak to the head and wings to the body of the bird.
Done! Now you know how to mold a bird from plasticine.
More complex model
If you are no longer new to modeling, then you can try yourself in creating more complex crafts.
Prepare plasticine in black, orange, blue, red, yellow, orange, brown, and green. Now let's start modeling:
- First, from the black mass, form a torso with a head.
- Then from the yellow mass, blind the beak and breast.
- Attach the beak to the head.
- Please note that the breast should be thin. Gently stick it to the body under the beak.
- Make blue eyes out of blue and black plasticine.
- From yellow, blind two thin, short sausages and stick them over the eyes.
- Decorate your beak with blue, red, green, and orange plasticine as shown in the photo in the article. And from black plasticine make thin black sausages and also stick them on the beak.
- To make the legs, roll six balls of orange. Form a droplet from each, and then connect them together in three. The legs turned out!
- Stick them to the body of a plasticine bird.
We plant a bird on a branch
Now you need to make a twig and leaves. To do this, take the brown mass and roll the sausage out of it. Make a stack on it that resembles a tree bark. From green plasticine, you need three or four balls that need to be shaped into droplets and then flattened. Stack draw on the vein leaves. Stick the leaves to the twig, and the bird itself to the leaves. Done!
Sculpt plasticine birds: panel
If you want to create pictures from plasticine or other mass for modeling, then first you need to find a suitable base. For such work cardboard, glass or canvas on cardboard is suitable. If you use glass, first draw a drawing on paper, and then place it under the glass. So you can more accurately lay out the picture.
Proceed:
- First make a blue background. You can immediately mold the clouds from white plasticine.
- Then roll a lot of thin sausages from the green mass for modeling, from which lay the grass. From brown plasticine, blind the reeds. If desired, you can still dazzle and river of blue mass.
After that, proceed to the creation of the bird itself from plasticine:
- Take a light gray mass for modeling and roll it into a thin layer. With a stack or a knife, cut out the body of a heron without legs and beak.
- Stick the torso to the panel.
- Then, from orange plasticine, blind the legs and beak. Make a stack of skin texture on the legs and mouth on the beak.
- From black, blue, white and light gray plasticine, roll a lot of small balls. Each ball is then flattened. Great feathers will come out of the resulting details. And from the black mass for modeling, make a crest and eyes.
Plasticine bird is ready!
If you wish, you can use not only plasticine for modeling, but also polymer clay, mastic, salted dough, and self-hardening mass.
