Hey friends,
Compliments of the season. As part of my ambitious goal to learn how to draw in the upcoming year, i decided to start the learning even before the start of 2023 just to keep myself motivated.

Today I learned and practiced how to draw and Shade a Cylinder in the presence of light.

The Process
I started the drawing by drawing an oval shape to represent the top of the cylinder.

Then I drew two straight lines to represent the sides of the cylinder.

I also drew another oval circle at the bottom, and I cleaned the part of the bottom oval that appears inside the cylinder since, it's not supposed to be seen.

I also added a light source by the side of the cylinder, and i shaded the the cylinder and it's shadows.

This is my fourth attempt at the drawing practice.

The cylinder was made with a HB pencil and a paper.

I remain committed to learning how to draw in 2023.

That being said, the drawing was fun 馃槉.

I'm open to feedback on anything that will enhance my drawing from members of this community.

Thank you for checking out my drawing.

Happy new year.
