AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a cube inside a sphere, showing their intersection through geometric construction. Start by plotting the intersection of coordinate axes and a circle, then construct three vertices of the cube. Form the cube using these points. Next, find an intersection point between the cube and sphere, use it as the center to draw the sphere, and connect it with the cube's vertices with helper lines. Complete the geometric construction of the intersection between the cube and sphere.
