Select a shape from the sidebar and drag it out to the size you would like. They work in the same way as our stickers and so can be applied both on the canvas and on 3D objects. This is going to be unique for each model, but with our example, the flower petals needed fluffing up, which is why we used the soft edge 3D doodle instead of the sharp edge, but then used the sharp edge for the center section since it's not really the same substance.In Paint 3D we have a range of useful and customisable 2D Shapes that make it easy to be productive. Use the same method to adjust your 3D model to make it more life-like. Since we know how flowers look in real life, we can select each of its parts and make them rounder, longer, thicker, etc., based on how an actual flower looks. It's also important to recognize the 3D qualities of the image like flatness, roundness, and other characteristics that aren't necessarily clear from looking at the 2D version.

However, doing so will not make the image truly 3D, but instead just push it off of the background. You can use the Stickers menu to select components of the 2D image, and then the Make 3D option to make it jump off the canvas. We can use that, along with the Fill tool, to quickly paint the flower the same colors seen in the 2D picture. The Eyedropper tool below the drawing utensils is for identifying a color from the canvas. Since we have a simple image with easy colors and lines, we'll use the Fill bucket tool to paint large areas at once. In the Brushes menu are several tools that let you paint and draw directly onto the model. Use that to your advantage to quickly identify the colors and specific shapes needed to recreate the picture in 3D. It's easy to compare the 2D and 3D images because we've placed them right next to each other.
