Step 4Join the two ellipses to make a drum
In 2D you are just drawing shapes which can be either filled on not filled and have a line or no line. Think of them as a series of layers which can be stacked in any order, or as shapes that can be joined together and cut out just like pieces of paper resting on top of each other.
To make the two ellipses into a drum,
1: Draw a shape from corner to corner of the ellipses, with straight edges at the sides
2: Merge the new shape with the bottom ellipse
3: Bring the top ellipse to the front and make sure it is filled with white so that obscures the top line of the bottom shape
Please note that I have chosen a medium grey for the line colour and I have chosen 0.35mm as the line width. I stick to these throughout my drawing so that I get a consistent look and feel and one that is easy on the eye. Black lines are much too harsh for most things and it is an old visualiser's trick to use light outlines even when the fill is a darker tone.
