AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a section of a right circular cylinder. The section includes an ellipse and two lines. The ellipse represents the cross-section of the cylinder, and the lines are the axis. The lines intersect the ellipse at two points. The center of the ellipse is the center of the cylinder. Ensure the drawing is clear and proportions are correct.
