Shark is a formidable predator. It will be very interesting for both children and adults to reproduce a model of plasticine shark in order to decorate a marine collage or simply create an interesting figure. With the help of a small instruction, which is given below, you can master the implementation technique, so that later you can realize any creative ideas related to the implementation of the inhabitants of the sea world.
Materials
For creativity, you need to prepare a flat surface. An ideal option would be a special board for plasticine. You can also use a variety of oilcloths and smooth paper. What is needed:
- Plasticine of 4 colors: black, white, red and any other one that will be taken as the basis (we chose blue).
- Stack
- Toothpicks.
- Rolling pin.
How to mold a shark?
To get started, take a little blue plasticine and roll a ball out of it. From it we make a long oval, slightly flattened on top and bottom. From the side of the tail, it should narrow slightly. This will become the basis for the torso. Then we roll out a thin layer of white plasticine and attach it on the side where the belly will be located.
Then we make some balls of the main color. They should make a tail, 2 front fins and 3 rear. Do not forget about the distinctive upper fin, the tip of which should be slightly rounded. So far, the workpiece is more like a whale. How to mold a shark?
Before attaching them, you first need to make the eyes and teeth of a shark. Stack out the eyes and toothy mouth. We make 2 small “pancakes” with plasticine of black color and fasten them into already prepared recesses. You can leave it that way, or you can make the pupils out of red to give the shark an ominous appearance. With a stack we make nostrils.
Glue the blank for the mouth with white plasticine. Using a stack, we make zigzag cuts to imitate pointed shark teeth. Do not forget to make a few cuts to depict the gills. This way you can perform the muzzle of a shark. How to mold the rest of the pieces?
If the fins are not yet ready, then they need to be completed. Note that one part of the tail should be slightly longer than the other. In order to better fasten the parts, it is recommended that all parts be attached to the body using toothpicks. Thus we attach the front fins on both sides. From above we attach a curved fin. Then we attach the shark tail and next to it are 3 fins: one on top and two on the sides. That's all. The master class on how to mold a shark ends there.
Conclusion
The result was a shark that has a very formidable appearance. It is worth noting that any color can be chosen for her. If you want to get a shark of not cartoonish colors, you can use the gray color, which is bought ready-made or mixed independently. Sharks come in many forms, so you can not be limited to the classic version and make a tiger or hammerhead shark.
If the dough was chosen for modeling, then after a while the craft will dry out and become a full-fledged figure. But you need to make sure that all the parts are securely attached, otherwise such small elements as the eyes may crumble. But in any case, they can always be returned to place using superglue. Crafts from classic plasticine should not be left in a hot place or in direct sunlight, otherwise they will leak.
