Hello, I'm trying to make an illustration where there is a 3D cylinder inside another 3D cylinder but I can't find any tutorials on how to do it, does anyone have any ideas? I want to put the purple cylinder inside the red one.

in that case create two concentric circles, group them, then use Effects > 3D > Extrude & Bevel

i thought yours were drawn objects with gradients because the 3D effect won't look much like your example image.

not by extruding a group. you'd need to do it by masking individual objects, as a first thought.

I would use 2 lines, one shorter than the other. Group them and use the 3D Revolve Effect:
