AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a pyramid with a quadrilateral base and its net. The pyramid's apex is directly above the center of the base. Start by plotting four points to form the base, then connect them to create the four triangular faces. Next, draw the net of the pyramid, which is the base and the four faces laid out flat. Place a sphere at each vertex of the pyramid, with the sphere's center at the midpoint of the edge connecting the vertex to the base. Finally, add a sphere at the center of the base, with its center at the midpoint of the base's center and the pyramid's apex.
