Hi. I am want to learn how to make the silhouettes of various "Bulb Shapes," like on the top of the Kremlin or on some minarets or as a less extreme example, the top of the Taj Mahal.

I do not want photo realistic or to mess with photos at all. I want to know how to make primitive silhouette versions for some basic brushes I am working on. Just black pixels on a white background.

I have tried using warp on ellipses with so-so results. Is there a quicker, easier and better way?

Here are some examples:

Trace one half with the pen tool, duplicate and flip the path then join the two halves together.
