Shaaka guys we are looking way into the past for some inspiration today
not last year or yesterday, but
millions of years ago and
Back get ready for some cool tips and tricks because I am going to show you
Believe it or not how to create a dino fossil
Okay, let's make a dino fossil so first. We'll take some clay now. This is regular Modelling clay
So you can make a nice big ball out of this
Spread it a little
Now this will act as a base or a rock for a fossil
Now for a fossil we need a dinosaur
So I have a dinosaur right here
Looks like an angry One look at the mouth
So you can pick up any toy like this and now place this in the middle?
And you have to press it down to get the shape
now we just apply some pressure and
press the dinosaur
into the [Modelling] clay
So you press it tight? So [I] have taken a toy which has a lot of texture on it
There's a lot of detail so that when I pull this out
I have [a] nice detailed impression of the dino on my [modelling] clay watch this
Carefully pull it out
And you can see we have a nice impression of the dino. I will place this and
Take some more clay
so I'm just putting a wall of
clay
Around our impression so that we can pour pupae in this and make a fossil
Okay, now that [a] wall is ready
Let's get our special ingredient plaster of Paris so [here]. I have plaster of Paris
we'll [add] some [water] to this powder and
[we] store it and
You need to keep this a little dilute so that you get all the details in the fossil
okay, [let's] pour this as
You can see t.o.p dries really fast. It's almost solid
Getting thicker
Now this will take a few minutes to dry say about five so we keep it aside
There you go now. What can I do in five minutes? [I]?
Can have some popcorn?
mmm
full okay
Get it as a popcorn
time for our dino fossil
As you can see looks completely dry so first, we'll take off the [wall]
Do it gently once the wall is off?
you can flip it and then [just] peel the clay and
there you have your
dino fossil
It looks like that. This was formed you know by pressing
the Dino body for millions of years
Looks pretty realistic. What do you think now to make this a little more impressive?
You [can] actually paint on this so we get some paints
I'm using acrylic [Colours]
So now we will try and create a little rock like texture
I'm taking a piece of sponge and
Then we'll gently
Dab it
and you should paint the whole piece so that it looks like an actual rock and not something that you have made and
Just like that your dino fossil is now ready
Look at that looks pretty realistic and with this technique. You can make a fossil of anything you want
As promised [our] dino fossil didn't take a million years to make but it did take some time and now
It's time to leave I'm so sad. I was having so much fun guys
But we can connect. I want to know what you think you guys are creative people and if you are creative
Then watch all the other stuff that I've been doing
We'll enjoy it also share it with your friends
I'm sure they will also like all the fun stuff [that] we are making
So that we have a big community of artists I love artists
I love art so I'm going now to prepare some more stuff for you guys, so until next time [Shaaka] Sad
But I have to go bye
