Homer Simpson's 3D Doughnut Trophy

Step 13Now it's time to paint it

now it\
Paint the bread and filling parts of the doughnut using acrylic paints. Check out the web for accurate reference. But hey, I'm guessing a blueberry filling slightly whiter inside bread dough and a darker outer crust, which is lighter on the bottom of the doughnut.

Mix brown using all three primary colours (red, blue and yellow) or any one primary and the complimentary secondary (i.e. red with green for example) and then use white to make them paler, probably with a touch more light yellow. Use Yellow Ochre as a base if you have it.

Acrylic covers the pink over-spray and gives a nice dense professional look. It also dries permanent (so don't get it on your clothes).

Be creative, it's not every day you get to make a 2D cartoon into 3D, so it is a good excuse to use bright vibrant colours.
