How to mold a minion from plasticine?

If you watched the cartoon "Ugly I", then you are well aware of who the minions are. And if not, then it's time to look, because today we will sculpt these tiny yellow creatures of plasticine!

By and large, sculpting is not necessarily just plasticine - you can use for this polymer clay or, for example, a child's mass for modeling. From the choice of material, it depends on whether your article becomes a children's toy or a souvenir (in case you use self-hardening plastic), or you are interested in the actual modeling process. After all, plasticine crafts are difficult to save for a long time, especially if they are made for children.

So, let's find out how to mold a minion from the plastic of the "Ugly I" cartoon.

We make an odd job - a minion of plasticine

  1. Initially, we need to dazzle the body of the minion. Take a piece of yellow plasticine, knead it and form a shape that resembles a plastic egg, "Kinder-surprise." This form was minions from the army of the evil Grew in the cartoon.
  2. Also prepare two identical flat oblong details from blue plasticine - these will be the trousers of the minion, more precisely, the inside of his overalls. Color of plasticine choose closer to the classic "denim". Stick these strips on the lower part of the trunk, as shown in the figure. Then roll and cut the same blue rectangle - this will be the base of the overalls. Attach it to the bottom of the body of the minion.
  3. To finish the overalls, it remains to roll two thin sausages - straps, and glue them to the appropriate place. In place of the belly, we glue a semicircular "denim" pocket and three black buttons - one larger and two smaller. To make the toy more realistic, you can simulate the seams on the overalls - we'll do it with a needle or an awl, putting a series of small dots around the edges of the clothes and on the pocket.
  4. Now that we've "dressed" the minion, it's time to tackle his face. Minions are one-eyed creatures. Moreover, their only eye is placed under glasses with one lens, which we have to depict with plasticine. First we roll two long thin sausages of black color - these will be gum for glasses. Then - the lens itself is white with a gray edging. And, finally, the only brown eyes of the minion with a black pupil.
  5. What is missing our minion? Of course, the hands and feet! Let's start with the pens. We make them from two plasticine sausages of yellow color, let the gloves be black. Gently bend our arms in the elbows and attach them to the trunk. Please note that the minion has only three fingers - no more! According to the plot of the cartoon, the minions are extremely hardworking creatures, and although they have only three fingers on each hand, they nevertheless successfully cope with their duties in the service of the ugly Grew.
  6. 4Katayem two balls of plasticine black - this will be the legs of the minionchik. Fix them from below so that the toy stands firm and does not fall.
  7. One of the final stages: you need to give the minion the right face: we'll do it with the help of a sharp stack or any other instrument, selling them the surprised and slightly crooked smile that characterizes these yellow creatures.
  8. It's time to learn how to make a minion's hair from plasticine. Roll a long and thin black sausage and cut it into the same pieces - they should be six.
  9. Make six clean holes with a toothpick in the middle and place the hair there. Hairstyle is ready!

So we dazzled one representative of the army of plasticine minions. If desired, you can make him a two-eyed "partner," because you already know how to make minions from plasticine.
