Geometry and Nature: The Perfect Egg

The video tutorial demonstrates how to draw a perfect egg using geometry, blending formal geometry with natural shapes. It begins with constructing a pentagon and pentagram, highlighting the golden ratio's role. The process of a hen laying an egg is explained, emphasizing the egg's shape transformation. The tutorial concludes with drawing the egg's curves and discussing the mathematics behind egg shapes, including a universal formula for different egg types.
