Plasticine pets
In order to start sculpting animals, you must first decide what kind of animal you want to depict.
Try to clearly imagine the image that will be embodied using plasticine. Children, as a rule, choose pets to sculpt. This is due to the fact that they see them quite often, unlike wild ones. Usually, any animal begins to be sculpted from the head. To create it, you need one large ball for the base and two smaller ones for the ears. Next, the required shape is created from these balls.
Eye placement is also important. They should be positioned so that the animal is looking directly at you. Balls are also prepared for the body, paws and tail, if, of course, there is one. An important point will be the connection of all elements into one whole. You can use matches or toothpicks for this. If you use medium-soft plasticine for modeling, you can subsequently play with these animals, creating various storylines involving pets.

Wild animals made of plasticine
The wildlife world is beautiful. It is filled with secrets and riddles. Children are drawn to the mysterious and unknown, which means they will probably be interested in how to mold animals from the wild world from plasticine.

Basic techniques for working with plasticine
Modeling animals from plasticine is a step-by-step process. There are basic shapes that serve as the basis for creating various elements.
These are the ball, cube, pyramid, cake, drop and strip. A cube is formed from a ball by squeezing and pressing it on four sides, and then it can be rolled out using a rolling pin, or left in the shape of a cube, finally aligning the edges with a flat stick. Or, for example, the “drop” shape is also created from a ball. In this case, the round workpiece from one edge begins to be gradually compressed and stretched to the desired size.
