PRINTABLE NOTES
If you look at a cylinder from the center side view it will look like a rectangle.
If you look at a cylinder from straight above it will look like a circle.
If you look at a cylinder at an angle you see both the top and the side at the same time; now the top appears as an oval and the side is no longer a rectangle.
To draw the cylinder start with a rectangle, add an oval across the top, make sure it is level on both sides.
Make a curve on the bottom this curve needs to have just the same amount of curve as the one on the top.
The oval of the top needs to be just as high on one side as it is on the other side.
Use shading to make it look round and three dimensional.
