First, prepare materials.
1. Before making a three-dimensional tree, you need to prepare the following materials: clay, and choose clay with soft texture and easy shaping, such as oil sludge and soft pottery.
2. Tools: including carving knives, scissors, scrapers, sandpaper, etc.
3. Reference pictures: In order to make an ideal three-dimensional tree, you can first find some reference pictures to better understand the structure and shape of the tree.
Second, make trunks and branches.
1, first take a piece of clay, rub it into a cylinder and use it as a trunk. At one end of the trunk, cut the shape of the root with a meat cleaver.
2. Then, divide the trunk evenly into several parts as branches. Rub the branches into thin strips and bend them into natural shapes.
3. When making branches, we should pay attention to the control of length and thickness and the change of bending degree, so that the branches can grow naturally.
Third, make leaves and fruits.
1, take a piece of clay, rub it into small balls, and then carve the shape of leaves on the surface with a carving knife. Stick the leaves on the branches and gently press them with your hands to make them firmly stick to the branches.
2. Next, take a small piece of clay, rub it into a small ball, and then gently press it into a flat shape with your palm. Carve the shape of fruit on the surface with a meat cleaver and stick it on the branches.
3. When making leaves and fruits, it is necessary to pay attention to the control of size and shape and the degree of cooperation with branches, so as to make the whole three-dimensional tree more realistic.
Fourth, the details are handled and modified.
1. After completing the basic form, the details of the 3D tree need to be processed and decorated. For example, use a meat cleaver to carve the texture on the bark, and use sandpaper to polish the edges of branches.
2. You can also add some decorations to the tree, such as birds, squirrels and other animals, or add elements such as small flowers and small fruits to make the three-dimensional tree more vivid and interesting.
3. Finally, check the whole 3D tree and repair or reshape it if necessary. If the three-dimensional tree needs to be preserved for a long time, a protective agent can be coated on the surface to prevent the clay from drying and cracking.
