🌹 Volumetric Rose: Method 1

There are several ways to create a 3D rose in Studio.

Today, let’s explore the first one — using built-in prints and brushes.

This type of rose is perfect for decorating a dress bodice, brooch, headband, corset, or even shoes.

📌 Step 1: Basic Shape

Add a new detail in the Layers → Details section

→ choose the type “invisible.”

Go to the Decor → Prints tab.

Find the rose print and adjust the colors:

🔴 Base — deep red

🤎 Outline — brown

💚 Leaves — green (you can erase them later)


🎨 Step 2: Turn the Print into a Brush


The Prints field will appear in the layer properties.

Tap ⋮ → Clone as brush.

The print becomes a brush — now you can edit it!

Delete the original print.

Open the Brush tab.

Use the eraser to remove any extra parts (like the leaves).

Step 3: Add Volume

Create 3 brush layers:

1. 💖 Light — highlights on the edges of petals


2. 🖤 Dark — shadows in the center


3. 🧡 Orange — vibrant outline accents


The result is a rose with depth and vivid color.

A perfect bold detail to spice up any outfit! 💃

🌹 Volumetric Rose: Method 2

Let’s continue exploring rose creation in Studio!

Today we’ll draw a rose by hand — no prints, just using shape tools, points, and brushes.

This rose can be adapted to any style, from minimalistic to dramatic 🎭

📌 Step 1. Drawing Petal Shapes

Go to Layers → Details

→ Add a new detail on the layer where you want to create the rose.

Use points to shape the rose.

You can draw a single large petal or build a full spiral.

🔁 Work in stages: start with central petals, then add the outer ones.

Tip: Use smooth curves and soft lines to give the shape a natural look.


🎨 Step 2. Painting the Rose

Now add 3 brush layers, just like in Method 1:

1. 💖 Highlight brush — for light edges on the petals

2. 🖤 Shadow brush — for depth in the center

3. 🧡 Accent brush — for color transitions and expressive strokes

Work in the Brush tab.

Try to follow the petal shapes — this helps give the rose realistic volume.


✨ Step 3. Final Details & Effects

If you like, you can also add:

— A thin outline (via the Outline tab)

— Soft shadows (in the Shadow tab)

— Subtle shine using a semi-transparent white brush


💡 Result: A rose drawn completely from scratch — unique and perfect for any custom design!

Thank you for this. Is there a way to move the shading etc with the shape if you move it? I made the rose but enlarged it to do the shading, when I made it small again, the shading was gone from the shape.

Thank you for your question! 🌹 When you scale a shape up or down, the shape itself changes size, but the shading or highlights that you painted with a brush separately do not scale together with it.

However, the Brush property lets you fix this. You can enlarge the shape, go to the Brush property, use Transform, and adjust the size of the brush pattern manually.

I usually paint shadows and highlights on a separate brush layer — this way it’s easier to resize them along with the shape.
