Will need
For this we need:
- - plasticine;
- - a knife for cutting plasticine;
- - scissors;
- - toothpick;
- - ruler;
- - glue or hot glue gun;
- - a small cardboard (this will be the basis for the picture);
- - small file;
- - thin rope or lace;
- - and of course, a photo of your pet or any other picture, for example, printed from the Internet.
Step-by-step master class on making a plasticine picture
Step 1. Take any photograph or picture (it will serve as a model for us) (I used a photo of a cat 9.5 cm wide and 8.5 cm long) and cut out a base from thick cardboard for it, the base should be wider than the photo on each side approximately 1 -1.5 cm, and also cut out 4 strips - this will be a frame 11 cm long and approximately 2 cm wide.
Step 2.Then we take the file and cut it to the size of our photo, then we put this piece of the file on the picture (for convenience, you can carefully attach the photo to the file with pencil glue).
Step 3. Now we need plasticine to make our picture look bright, we will make a background, for this we will mix yellow and bright green plasticine (but do not mix the colors together too much, it is necessary to get a blurry realistic background of our picture.) Next, piece by piece. tear off the plasticine and spread it over the picture with your fingers, but make sure that the layer is not too thin.
Step 4. Now let's prepare plasticine for the cat's fur. We will need beige color (white plasticine + brown), brown, dark brown, black, and also blue for the eyes. We start with the darkest color, with black we begin to fill the very central part of the muzzle with it.
Step 5. Then we take brown plasticine and also fill in the cat’s face.
Step 6. Now we take just brown plasticine and do the same thing, smooth the layers together with our fingers, mix them a little so that the transition looks smoother. Now we add the lightest color and do it as shown in the photo, and don’t forget about the ears - we make the edges black and the inside brown.
Step 7. Next, use a beige color to create fur around the muzzle.
Step 8. Take a toothpick (it can be replaced with an awl, needle or other sharper object). To make our cat look just like a real one, we’ll give him some fur, watch the direction of the fur (for this you can look at your pet or in the photo).
Step 9. Now make small “pancakes” from blue plasticine; these will be the eyes; we make black pupils in the same way, and also add highlights to the eyes using white plasticine.
Step 10. Now let's select a nose for this from brown plasticine, make a rectangle and a small triangle, connect the parts as shown in the photo.
Step 11. Now let’s select the muzzle, make 2 “pancakes” and one small oval and stick it under the nose and work on the fur in the same way.
Step 12. And the final element is what!? Of course the mustache! Roll up a white cord from white plasticine, divide it into 10 parts, and attach it in place of the antennae.
Step 13. Let's return to the base, use a glue gun to glue the cord, and then glue our picture on top.
Step 14. Next, glue the frame, glue all the parts so that everything holds tightly.
Step 15. Next, take plasticine of any color and cover the entire frame with it.
Step 16. Now let's decorate the frame, roll a medium-thick cord out of plasticine, and then twist it together to make a beautiful rope.
Here you go! Our wonderful picture is ready! It can be done with children; it develops children’s fine motor skills well. Experiment, change the colors to your taste, you can also add bows to the cat, or let’s say make some other animal. It all depends on your imagination!
