Step 3 Draw a reverse U shape such that the front part is attached to it.

Step 4 Now again draw two parallel lines one from the top edge of the U and the other from the middle which will be closed by an arc to form a cylindrical shape. Move the bottom line further and extend it backwards little bit.
