How can you mold a bull from plasticine?

From the article you can find out how to make a bull out of plasticine and how easy do-it-yourself modeling goes. Knowing what materials to use for this and the process itself, it will be easy to transfer this very valuable skill to children.

Both children and parents will be surprised how easy it is to make a bull from plasticine - you just have to approach the matter consciously and carefully. Even for those who have no experience in molding at all, it is quite possible to start with such an object. For work, you will need, in addition to the bars of material, a stack and a support board. The colors are chosen according to your taste.

The size of the ball should be about the size of a hazelnut. The ball should be pressed against the board, but not flattened excessively. A pair of smaller orange balls form a resemblance of a nose. You can improve the imitation by piercing the head of a match, so that there is something like a nostril. The same match will allow you to prepare the indentations for the eyes.

Continuing to create the head step by step, you need to start installing the horns. They must be strictly light brown in color. It is more correct to speak, however, not about horns, but about small horns. The ears of the animal are made by kneading the orange pieces to the state of balls. Pressing the ball with your finger, they form a cake from it, which will only have to be pressed down on both sides and fixed.

The next steps for sculpting a simple bull for children are as follows:

• fixing a light brown lozenge on the forehead;

• drawing the fur layer;

• body shaping from orange carrots;

• bending the sharp edge of the carrot upward at an angle of 90 degrees;

• inserting a match into the narrow end;

• stretching long narrow cones, on the wide edges of which brown cakes are glued;

• attaching legs to the body and manually pulling plasticine to smooth the surface;

• placement of a slender tail ending in a light brown fringed tassel.

The sculpture of a goby can be done in stages with your own hands using natural materials. Among them, the best is the variation with pine cones and other materials.

First of all, you need to glue a piece of walnut shell to a large cone, which will become the "body" of the figurine. Scales from a cone can be used to mark ears that stick to the clay symmetrically.

The horns are usually made from parts of the bean boll. But you can use ordinary garden twigs for their manufacture. The eyelids are often formed from empty hollow bolls. Eyeballs will symbolize peas, and the tail is made from a long twig of any tree or shrub. After that, it will remain:

• draw pupils and irises;

• add nostrils and mouth;

• put the bull on its feet (thicker twigs or pieces of bean tree bolls).

This can also be done easily - you just need to practice properly. The funniest figurines are stylized and placed in "clothes"... This option allows the use of almost any color. The head must be white, orange or brown in color. It is formed from a ball squeezed with two fingers in the manner of a pear.

When this is done, the ears are formed. Pink (smaller) is added to the orange ball. After flattening, the pink part is placed on top.

Then comes the turn of the horns... They are molded easily and naturally. Their edges are folded up. Putting the horns to your head, you need to press them down. Then the structure is crushed with a stick in the center. Further:

• an ellipsoidal pink cake is molded onto the lower part of the muzzle;

• complement the design with bangs and eyes;

• prepare the mouth and nose;

• form "trousers" in the form of a cone;

• having blinded the tail, attach it to the "trousers";

• add any details that suit your taste.
