the image is an educational guide on foreshortening, specifically focusing on how to draw cylinders at various angles. the top section illustrates how the apparent height of a cylinder changes with different tilt angles, showing both side and front views. the bottom section explains rules for drawing cylinders correctly in perspective. these rules cover the orientation of the top and bottom of the cylinder, the shape of the ellipses that form its ends, and how the ellipse's long axis should relate to the cylinder's orientation. several examples illustrate the concepts, making it a clear and comprehensive tutorial on drawing cylinders with correct foreshortening. a small graphic of an artist working is also included at the bottom.
