Step 2. Pinch off a piece of burgundy plasticine and use it to create a tight, short neck with a small head at the end. 
Step 3. Place the neck on the rounded side of the body. We smear the edges of the workpiece with our fingers and draw the outline of the feathers with a stack or knife. Give the neck a curved shape. 
Step 4. From flat drop-shaped blanks in green and burgundy tones we create a pair of small wings. 
We stick parts of the same shape on top brown tint. We cut through the texture of the feathers on the wings. 
We stick them on the sides of the body. After attaching the wings, draw the feathers at the tip of the tail. 
Step 5. Next we make two shallow holes for the eyes. We stick green and black cakes onto the white balls and glue the eye blanks into the recesses. 
Step 6. We form a flat wide beak from orange plasticine. We fix it in the center of the face. We bend its tip slightly upward. 
Step 7. Create a small tuft on the top of the head. 
Using a skewer, draw several eyelashes and eyebrows above the duck’s eyes. We also draw the feathers on the neck and base of the wings. 
The plasticine duck is ready.
