An organic shape is a shape that has a natural, flowing, and curving appearance, similar to those found in nature, such as plants, animals, and rocks. Organic shapes are typically irregular or asymmetrical and do not have a name associated with them. They are free-form shapes, and their outlines are curved and sometimes look like blobs or splotches. Examples of organic shapes include leaves, clouds, mountains, seashells, rain puddles, and animals. Organic shapes are generally used when attempting to create a piece that looks natural, flowing, soft, or calming.
