Fans of modeling from plasticine can try their “creative” capabilities in working on crafts on a human theme. Creating various human figures (adults or children, fairy tales or “ordinary” ones from life) at the beginning, the most ordinary ones, will allow you to develop sculpting skills. Gradually, you can begin to make “naturalistic” copies of people in reduced sizes using sophisticated technology. We offer you interesting information about how to mold a person from plasticine - video lessons, assembly diagrams, manufacturing methods and examples of spectacular finished crafts.

Step-by-step instructions on how to mold a person from plasticine
It is better to construct the craft from light plasticine - it is malleable and holds its shape, the finished work looks neat. Let's look at how to mold a person from plasticine step by step:
- A piece of white, pink or beige plasticine is lightly rolled into an oval shape and stacked into three equal parts (stripes).
- The upper third is cut in a stack into three equal vertical “bases” - this is the future head and arms.
- The lower third is divided by a stack into two equal pieces - these are the future legs.
- At the top, the side blanks are lowered down, shoulders and arms are sculpted, given a natural shape, and can be slightly bent at the elbows.
- The middle blank is made round - the neck and head are formed.
- The legs are sculpted - they should, in accordance with reality, be thicker and longer than the arms.
- Natural shapes are added to the figure - a physiological deflection is made in the back/lower back, a rounded “mass” is added to the buttocks area.
- Small details are decorated - feet, hands, nose, eyes, eyebrows and mouth are added to the face.
The basic modeling of a man from plasticine is completed.
You can create a figure in two ways - plastic, when the silhouette is worked out entirely from one whole piece of plasticine, or from separate modules, when the arms, legs, head with neck and torso are molded from separate pieces and then joined together.

For children, there are many simple options for making a plasticine man. For example, kids will be happy to create the following figures:
- balls are rolled from plasticine of different shades - large and small;
- give the large ball a slightly flattened shape, and stretch out four rays - you get an asterisk;
- a small ball is “planted” in the upper part - this is the head.
A simplified version of the figures is ready.
Girls, who especially love to play with dolls, will eagerly start creating a little man:
- a body is formed from the workpiece in sliders;
- add hands, head;
- decorate the suit with a collar and buttons;
- feet are sculpted and secured.
The baby is ready, add the indispensable and main attribute of the pacifier.
For older children, it will be interesting to learn how to make a man in the form of a teenage boy out of plasticine step by step:
- the body is assembled from 6 modules;
- legs - in the form of a thick tourniquet, bent in half, feet are added;
- they sculpt the head, design the eyes and nose on the face.
Add a beret and mittens.
You can also make a girl using this method by adding a skirt (instead of trousers) and braids.

Teacher of the senior group Chuksina E. G.
Goal: Continue to introduce the child to plasticine and its properties. Improve the ability to roll out a piece of plasticine at an angle and with your hands in a vertical position. Teach the child to work consistently with both hands, to measure the pressure of the palms on the plasticine.
Objectives: Learn to sculpt human in a rational way from an elongated cylinder (roller)
by cutting into a stack and adding details
(figurine of a “boy”)
.
To consolidate and complicate the method of sculpting a human figurine from a cone (a figurine of a girl)
. Learn to understand the relativity of the size of parts, position the craft vertically, giving it stability. Show the possibility of conveying the movement of a molded figurine by slightly changing the position of the arms and legs.
Conversation about the life of children in kindergarten. Reading the fairy tale novel by N. Nosov Dunno in the Sunny City.
Materials, tools: plasticine or clay, stacks, oilcloths, planks, paper or cloth napkins.
The teacher has two models, sculpted in advance from plasticine (clay)
: a cylinder
(higher)
and a cone
(lower)
with ball heads at the top;
another cylinder for one of the guys to demonstrate a new method of sculpting .
Sculpting detailed figures
The plasticine person must have the appropriate dimensions; the body parameters of an adult differ from those of a child. It is believed that in a child’s figure one can “mentally” place his head in a vertical position 3-5 times, and for an adult this ratio is 7-8 times. If they sculpt a fairy-tale hero, then this scheme is not followed.
The more individual, small components there are in a craft, the more complex it is, but also the more impressive. Children in the 6th grade will already be able to easily create an original figurine from a large number of parts if they have a visual assembly diagram of how to sculpt a person:
How to shape a figurine: general recommendations
In order to make a person in motion, you can use the following options:
- use wire - it is given the desired shape, then layers of plasticine are applied, sculpting a silhouette;
- in oval bundles-blanks (for arms/legs), small cuts are cut in stacks - they help to easily bend the limbs at the “joints”;
- the silhouette is assembled from separate modules, fastened with a toothpick or wire - this allows the parts to “move”.
Depending on the gender of the person, the workpiece is given appropriate differences - broad shoulders (for men), feminine shapes (for the fairer sex).
To sculpt a human figure, head and carefully sculpt the face, you will need tools - a classic stack, and with a wavy edge, plasticine sticks, attachments in the form of concave spatulas, wire, toothpicks.
How to sculpt the face of a man from plasticine: sculptural modeling to resemble reality
When sculpting a human head from plasticine, three main criteria are determined:
- location of parts (anatomical);
- maintaining proportions;
- finding and transmitting the features of forms.
If you set yourself the goal of recreating a face/head (on a pedestal), then it is better to choose a frame. Plasticine is already applied to it. Then they determine the location of the main lines and proportions. Create volume by adding plasticine strokes.
They work out small details, taking into account the nuances:
- close-set eyes, squinting;
- shape of the nose, forehead, lips;
- presence/absence of dimples and folds.
The shape of the ears, hairstyle, and neck length are also important. This can be done without a frame, from sculptural plasticine, it is as flexible as possible.
The ratio of high and wide points on the face is determined, and “marks” are placed on the most protruding parts of the face on a plasticine blank. If necessary, adding or removing plasticine (with strokes).
Video lessons on how to achieve a portrait resemblance in a plasticine person
A sculpture created by yourself will be as similar as possible to the original if you use video material from a pro, and do not forget about the tips:
- the shape of the head can be elongated or round;
- It is better to calculate the ratio of proportions in cm; if the scale is not life-size, then it should be reduced (to the required numbers).
You definitely need to pay attention to the features of the head and face and emphasize these nuances in the sculpture.
For greater similarity, it is advisable to create a schematic drawing or use a photo on which a square grid is drawn with a pencil. This will help to “catch” the features of the face.

Notes on sculpting "Human Figure in Motion" in the preparatory group
Goal: continue to develop the ability to sculpt a human figure .
Teach children to sculpt a human figure in motion from one piece of plasticine, conveying the shape of the body, structure, shape of parts, proportions. Strengthen sculpting . Fix the method of sculpting a cylinder (roller)
cut at both ends.
simple movements in (bending the arms and tilting the torso, moving the legs)
. Learn to correlate parts of the
human by size and proportions.
Developmental tasks: Continue to develop the ability to convey small details using your fingers. Develop the ability to use a stack and divide a part into parts.
Educational objectives: To foster independence. Cultivate accuracy when working with plasticine and small parts.
