The following steps should allow the reader to draw an imperfect pint of beer using Adobe Illustrator.

Step 1: Step 1

Step 5: Step 5

Select and copy the small oval at the bottom of the glass. Place this copy just below the copied oval so that they overlap.

Step 6: Step 6

Using the line segment tool, connect the two smaller ovals.

Step 7: Step 7

Using the direct selection tool, select and delete the two top segments of the bottom oval.

Step 8: Step 8

Using the direct selection tool, select and delete the two top segments of the second oval from the top of the glass.

Step 9: Step 9
