AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw the geometry of a conch shell, including multiple circles and curves, showing the construction process. Start by drawing two line segments and four points, then use orthogonal lines to construct two circles and find their intersection points. Next, draw two ellipses with the intersection points as foci, and find the intersections of the ellipses with the orthogonal lines. Finally, use the points and angle information to draw complex parametric curves, forming the shape of the conch shell.
