How to make a dinosaur from plasticine: a complete description of the work

From plasticine, a child can fashion various figures that differ in shape, size and color. This article will show the master classes with detailed instructions, thanks to which the young craftsmen will be able to figure out how to make a dinosaur plasticine from the example of a stegosaurus, also find out who the tyrannosaur is and how it can be molded.

A selection of video lessons for beginners

This article will offer a selection of videos in which several variants of modeling figures of ancient fossilized pangolins will be demonstrated.

Stegosaurus

In the first master class, the process of modeling stegosaurus will be described step by step. For work you will need plasticine yellow, red colors and a bit of plasticine black and white.

First of all it is necessary to form a yellow ball to form a big ball in order to make a trunk out of it, we also need to form four identical balls for future paws and a red ball in order to make a shell.

First a large yellow ball should be flattened so that the edges are narrowed, and in the middle a bend is formed. One edge of the detail is the head, the other is the tail. To the head it is necessary to attach two flattened balls of white color, supplemented by circles of black color - these are the eyes. Further from four identical yellow balls it is necessary to form four platens and to flatten one of edges at each detail. With the help of a scapula, cuts must be made to make the fingers. After that, from the red ball it is necessary to form a roller, then roll it into a thin layer and cut out triangles from it.

At the final stage, the paws must be attached to the trunk and the red triangles should be attached to the trunk surface as a shell.

There is another scheme for modeling stegosaurus. To work you will need a green clay, a little plasticine of red color and a toothpick.

First of all, one ball with a large diameter to form the trunk and two identical balls with a smaller diameter for making the head and tail should be rolled out from the green color, and four small identical balls will be needed to designate the front and hind legs. Of the balls that are intended for the formation of the trunk, head and tail, it is necessary to form details of a drop-shaped shape, and from the remaining small balls, it is necessary to make sausages.

After that, the head of the stegosaur must be connected to the trunk, smoothing the junction and slightly stretching the neck. Then you need to attach the tail, also stretching the part to the desired length, so that the proportions remain. Next, attach the paws to the trunk and mark the lines of the fingers on the paws and mouth on the head. It is also necessary to make a tongue out of red and attach eyes. To be realistic with a toothpick on the entire surface of the body should be designated scales.

All stages of work are shown in the photo.

Tyrannosaurus Rex

The second master class will be offered a scheme for modeling tyrannosaurus. For work you will need clay base color and a little white and black colors.

First of all, it is necessary to form balls of different diameters from basic plasticine: a large ball for the trunk, a smaller ball for the head, two identical balls of even smaller size for the hind legs and two small balls for the front paws. It will also require a tiny ball, from which a crest will be formed. From a large ball it is necessary to form a semicircular detail, bending both edges upwards, another drop of smaller diameter should be shaped like a drop - this is the head to which you need to attach two eyes from plasticine black and white. Next, you need to make an incision in the place where the dinosaur will fall and make the canines of the upper and lower rows white, you can simply roll two rollers and use the shoulder blade to designate the contours of the canines. Of the balls that are intended for the formation of the paws, you need to roll the rollers and flatten one of the edges, and then with the help of a scapula, cuts should be made. In order to get a comb, you need to roll out the smallest ball in the sausage and with the help of a scapula should make cuts at the same distance.

At the final stage, the head to the trunk needs to be attached with a toothpick, then you need to attach the paws, the comb, and the hack is ready.

Below will be proposed several schemes for modeling other types of dinosaurs.
