In this tutorial, we will show, how you can create a basic 3D shape, such as a Star with MS Paint. You can apply this basic process to create other 3D shapes in MS Paint too.

 

Click on Start button, in the search field type “Paint” (without quotation marks) and launch the program by clicking it on the list.

 

In Paint, choose both primary color and secondary color to Yellow:

 

 

Then click on the Star shape tool (or any shape you want to create) :

 

 

Hold Shift key (to create equal on length and breadth) and draw the star. Now click on Fill dropdown menu and fill with solid color :

Your 3D star is ready.
