To make your drawing look more like the real thing you need to add some detail, not much, but just enough to help convince the reader that they are looking at what you are trying to draw.

In this case the lid spout is exactly like the original drum of the lid itself except the base is bigger than the top and it has a hole in its top, so the process of creating it is exactly the same as the main body of the lid, with the exception that the sides are curved outwards.

3: Merge bottom disc with the weird shape
4: Bring top two discs to the front
