Hello everyone,

 

I am a relatively new illustrator user. I was wondering if there is a way to create a hollow cylinder-like shape with a portion cut out to show the interior of the cylinder? I have attached an image from the internet to give an idea of what I am intending on making. Is there an "easy" way to prepare such a figure from a single cylinder without having to piece together multiple cylinders?

 

Thank you

Typically you wouldn't use 3D effects to create this, but draw shapes and then fill those with gradients, or use blends, freefor gradients, gradient meshes.
