I made a cylinder in illustrator by extruding a circle. pretty simple. but I want to bend it just a little bit so that it is curved. How do i go about doing that? nothing seems to be working?

STart with a circle and then use the 3D rotate effect:

not sure about illustrator but i am playing around with it in photoshop right now, and if you make a cilinder line from a circle there by using - 3d, i think shape preset Bend X 360 right, while in "deform" (in the top menu of the properties) you put exrusion depth on low or however you need (play with it), then you have there horizontal angle - that makes it bend horizontaly (and vertical angle vertically (which makes it into sort of a spiral, which is cool 🙂 )
