How to mold Krosh from plasticine?

A funny fussy rabbit-fidget from "Smeshariki" is depicted on many children's things. Krosh for children has long been a favorite cartoon character. Sculpting such a character is a great pleasure. It is easy to make, a little work - and in the hands of a cute figurine of a cheerful rabbit.

To make Crochet, we need a blue plasticine bar. You do not need to hide the rest of the set - other shades in the minimum size will also come in handy. The character is fashioned easily, so the smallest can be connected to work.

For them, it is better to prepare light wax-based plasticine. It is bright, soft, does not leave greasy spots and will definitely not discourage you from sculpting in the future. In addition to plasticine, prepare a toothpick, a stack, a plastic board on which we will sculpt a smesharika, and napkins to wipe our hands.

Since the character is very mobile and the expression of his face is constantly changing, we propose to sculpt several versions of a cartoon rabbit.

We will tell you in stages how to make a Krosh figurine with your own hands. If there is no pale blue color in the plasticine set, combine the blue and white bar, mix the shades for a long time and thoroughly. During this procedure, the material will become soft, pliable, it will be easy to mold a smesharik out of it. To make the tone lighter, white plasticine should be taken twice as much blue. From the resulting soft mass, separate a piece of the same size as you would like to see Krosh's figure. Roll it into a smooth, proportional ball. Pinch off 6 more small pieces from the remaining material and roll them into balls.

Smesharik's head and body make up a single organism, so we will simply glue the eyes onto a large ball. Pinch off two small pieces from the white plasticine and mold them into oval cakes of different sizes - this will make the eyes look funnier. Set the parts in the center of the ball so that the bottom line is even and the top of the right eye is higher than the left.

Make two-color tiny pupils in regular round shapes from black and blue material. To cope with small and precise work, babies will need the help of their parents. Place the pupils in the lower part of the white cakes. Attach blue eyebrow lines at the top, and a pink round nose under the eyes.

Before you blind Kroshu with a cheerful mouth, swipe down a small line with a toothpick from the nose. Such a depression is typical for the faces of rabbits. From a piece of black plasticine, mold a flat cake, roll it out as thin as possible and cut a small piece that looks like a boat in a stack. To make the smesharik look cheerful, the corners should be raised up. Attach the mouth to the bottom of the ball. Complete it with a tiny red tongue and two white teeth.

Take 6 balls of blue plasticine prepared in advance. We will mold Krosh's paws and ears from them. To make the ears, roll the ball into a long sausage with narrow and wide ends on different sides. Flatten the part, giving it a slight bend to the side. Do the same with the second balloon. The ears are ready. Blanks for hands are rolled in a sausage in the same way - with thick and thin ends. Press lightly on the wide side (on a hard surface), it will flatten into the palm of your hand.

Use a toothpick to cut 5 fingers on it. Repeat the whole process with the second handle. Form the two balls for the lower legs into triangular cakes. Press your fingers on the wide sides with a toothpick. From the parts obtained, we assemble a figurine: we set the ears at the top, the legs - at the bottom, the handles - on the sides. Give some dynamics to the body parts, let the ears be slightly at different heights, and one of the handles is raised up.

We will not repeat how to make limbs and ears, this was described in detail in the first version, we will proceed directly to making a funny squinting muzzle, for which you will need to sculpt only one eye. Form a neat smooth ball of blue plasticine - a rabbit's body.

To make an eye, take a piece of white material, roll it into a thin plate and cut out a rounded piece of slightly irregular shape, as in the picture. Glue the blank to the top of the ball to your left. Roll a piece of black plasticine thinly. Cut an oval pupil out of it. Place at the bottom of the white blank with the elongated end up.

Now the most interesting thing - with the help of a stack, we make a funny squint, which will replace Kroshu's second eye. Draw it in the form of a transverse branch, repeating the location of the lines, as shown in the figure. Roll up a tiny pink nose in the shape of a ball, place it in the center of the calf, under the eye. In a stack, draw a smiling mouth and a line between it and the nose, typical for rabbits.

Decorate the center of the mouth with two different sized white teeth. Place your ears on the top of your head. Add four limbs. Smesharik with a sly squint is ready.

You can add Krosh figures with plasticine carrots, flowers, an umbrella, a drum, any details that your imagination is capable of.

For those who first started modeling from plasticine, our advice in this exciting lesson may come in handy.

• Plasticine leaves greasy marks on the surface. To preserve the countertop, sculpt on a special plastic board or oilcloth.
• If the room is cool, the bars will solidify. Prolonged kneading in hands will help to make them fit for work. To speed up the process, you can put the material in hot water and wait a few minutes.
• For decor or beautiful crafts, it is better to choose airy plasticine. It is light, bright, colorful; after a couple of hours in the air, it solidifies into a tough figure. But you need to handle it carefully - because of the fragility of the material.
• While sculpting a complex craft, keep it in sight completely, control the volume. If you get too carried away with details, the whole image can "crumble" into disorganized fragments.
• When working on a figurine of a person, animal or cartoon character, try to keep it at eye level during sculpting. If you look at it from above, you can not calculate the parameters and sculpt a tadpole.
• Bugles, shells, pebbles, rowan brushes, autumn leaves, acorns and cones can be good decorations for plasticine crafts.
• Secure the product that is planned for decoration or a gift with hairspray: it will look brighter and last longer.
• You need to store plasticine figures for a long time in a closed box, otherwise warm air, light and dust will ruin their appearance.
