Smurfs Snappy Bug Tutorial
We watched “Smurfs The Lost Village“ last week and my daughter felt in love with the Snappy Bug. Every time the ladybug appeared in the smurfs hand she was getting over excited and showed it to me “Ladybug! Ladybug!“. So I decided to give it a try and make one for her to play with. I made ladybugs before but this one is super cute with those big eyes and eyelashes, pretty hard not to fall in love with it.
As usual I used tin foil for the main shape and covered it in paper clay. This time used “Das modelling material“ instead of my homemade paper clay because it was a small project and needed to be able to make all the details and obtain the smoothness that I wanted, and Das is better for that. I also used copper wires for armature. I worked in layers. The first layer was for covering the tin foil and wires, and the second layer was for the details. I painted the ladybug with acrylic paint and sealed it with a matte spray varnish.
