and a wireframe so you get a better idea how to reproduce effects. I listed them with Mr. Robot (that's an excellent TV series!) but much of the fun is education and provoking artists to riff on an idea
Here a created a cylindrical-kinda shape in Cinema 4D, rendered it in limited shading mode and then auto-traced it (with Vector Magic) to turn the bitmap into a series of vector paths, and then imported them to Xara. The crude, limited number of vectors was deliberate, to give me room for smooth shading, using gradients, transparencies, and blends. I don't think Auto-tracing by any measure is finished art.

Tracing is not cheating. That was the subject of a Xara Xone tutorial years ago, I believe it's still up on YouTube.
My Best,

For me personally I don't think everything needs a wireframe although they can be helpful Gare. Great rendering of the " cylindrical-kinda shape", but you know what the stopper makes me think of a water pipe. So there is an idea for you, Just a few minor alterations to your drawing and you have a water pipe.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
