Add colors to 3D shapes in Illustrator

[Sungtae222069935g9m]

I researched how to turn 2D shapes into 3D shapes. However, I was told to add different colors to my 3D shapes. How do you add or change the colors to your 3D shapes?

Please show your artwork and tell us exactly where you want to put colors.

Here's the thing. I already made a 2D version of it, but if you turned the 2D shape with the colors and then turned it into a 3D after the process, can you change or add colors to the exact spots you want them?

You can apply artwork to a 3D object. Make them as symbol in Window > Symbols

And then it's easiest done with the Classic 3D effects
