"And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it'"

I've built eggs using this tutorial previously (link) - but the exercise of creating a consistent form is good, like practicing musical scales.
Sung Chun-Lin (Fusen_Zero) is an incredible artist and fantastic instructor - extremely thorough, he released a series of instructional videos on the online learning platform 'Hahow' some years ago, these videos cover almost every topic I can think of related to twisting balloons, just stopping short of decor. Unfortunately, they're not available anymore and I (*think I) saw notice that they will be removed at some point, so I want to run through them again.
Other balloons by and inspired by Sung Chun-Lin:
The egg is a more forgiving shape, the ball took a few attempts. The final section sizes were 8-10-11-10-8 cm.
