STEP 1:

1. Draw a shape, select a colour from the "shape" tab.

2. Its edges should be smooth.

STEP 2:

1. To give it more 3D look, draw another shape at the top of the base.

2. Select a colour for it but remember, its colour should be the bright version of the colour you have used in the step 1.

STEP 3:

1. Come back to the step 1. Copy this shape and paste it over the first one. Reshape it using reshape tool and make it a bit short than the base.

2. Select a dark/light colour from the colour options located in "Shape" tab.

3. Keep applying this method till you reach the end.
