AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a spherical kite. Start by marking the intersection points of two perpendicular axes as the center of a sphere. Then, draw four specific planes and use their intersections with the sphere to construct the kite's four vertices. Finally, connect these vertices to form a kite shape.
