Hello my name is Aatreyu Shau,
I will show you how to make a King Julien Clay Model,
To start you will need these materials
toothpicks
modelling clay / polymer clay / etc
that's it
so let's start
you can use this image for reference(the image isn't what our final product will exactly look like.)
Supplies
modelling clay
toothpicks
Making the Body and the Tail

Start by using a blob of clay and stretch it
then ,bend it a little to form an arc as shown in the image
add a tail.
To make the tail make a small and thick rope out of the clay and curl it a little
Now stick a toothpick into the tail and attach it to the body to get the shape in the image above.
Starting With the Legs

Take a blob of clay and stretch it to get a long almond shape,
bend this a little and add small pads for feet you can add details to your feet to see where I've attached the feet (it is attached at the thinner end of the leg.)
The Head

starting with the head
take a small round blob of clay and elongate it a little.
pinch on one side to form the mouth.
then use the toothpick to make the jaws.
make two thin small eyes and squeeze them on the head
Putting Them Together
![IMG_20200904_114213.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FGK/SO31/KEMTMF9N/FGKSO31KEMTMF9N.jpg&filename=IMG_20200904_114213.jpg)
this is a very important part if you want parts that don't have gaps between them.
I put the different parts onto this by overlapping the gaps by gently dragging your hand over the gaps
Making Arms

Take two small blobs and do the same as did with the legs'Just one exception you will need to make them smaller.
Painting

you're done with the project now you can paint
If you are using paper mache you can use normal water colors
Over here I have used modelling clay so I will paint it with acrylic colors
You can use a google image for reference / you can use the image at the start as reference .You can even change it's pose to any pose you like.
Ornamenting / Adding the Crown

Last step you can either make a small crown or print this image and cut it out,You can even draw it. (Your wish,.it's up to you now, the ball is in your court......). and obviously add the ears (make drawings of ears / model them out of clay / print them out)
